Only five hardy souls showed up for Roma Lenehan's Frautschi/Picnic
Point Warbler Walk this morning. While not raining steadily, the
drizzle was a nuisance. Despite the southeast winds, we didn't see much
at first, but eventually hit a few pockets of warblers and vireos. We
ended up with only 16 warbler species - a bit disappointing. Did have
some nice looks at Bay-breasted, Magnolia & No. Parula, and a great look
at a singing Orange-crowned (if you call that singing...) Very near the
latter bird was a Blue-headed Vireo - also had a couple of singing
Yellow-throated Vireos, plus Red-eyed and Warbling. Best bird by far
was a Black-billed Cuckoo that we saw in a sumac stand as we made our
way back to the parking lot.
Dan Doeppers and I will be leading another walk at Picnic Point at 7:30
Sunday morning (5/17.) We'll meet at the 1918 Marsh circular parking
lot. Note that University Bay Dr. is closed west of there, so you may
need to come up Walnut St.
