This morning from 830-1030, Mike and I birded Baker Marsh.
Highlights:
OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER - 3
WILLOW FLYCATCHER - 1
CASSIN'S VIREO - 1
WARBLING VIREO - 2
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER - 8
YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER - 1 nonbreeding plumage
MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER - 2
COMMON YELLOWTHROAT - 3
WILSON'S WARBLER - 15+
WESTERN TANAGER - 1
BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK - 2
Of interest were several Virginia Rails, one was on a horizontal branch
about a foot above the top of the marsh sedges/grasses. It then flew down,
chattering. I observed this behavior again. The chittering/chattering calls
were curious.
A Savannah Sparrow was seen in dead sticks at the edge of the marsh. It
threw us for a moment.
The resident Ospreys appear to be tending the nest again although no young
were observed.
regards,
