Heard my first singing ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER while doing a loop
walk around Mingus Park, Coos Bay this morning. Plenty of VG SWALLOWS in
the neighborhoods also. In the wooded area on the north end of the park
there has been a calling SHARPIE the past couple of mornings- this has been
a traditional nesting location the past 10 yrs. or so since Joe Metzler
first noticed them.
Other singing birds this morning included:
Pacific Wrens, Hutton's Vireos, both kinglets, CB & RC Chickadees, a couple
Brown Creepers, Varied Thrush, A. Robin, House Finch, Pine Siskins, DE
Juncos, and WC Sparrows.
Nice to walk under blue skies!
Oh, Harv Schubothe reports 1+ MTN CHICKADEES coming to feeders in Bandon
the last couple of weeks or so.
Merry migration,
