I ran the Nicolai Mt Breeding bird survey this morning (year 25 if I've
done my math right). Weather was on the cool side with overcast.
Bird numbers were average with 61 species, 489 birds. PACIFIC-SLOPE
FLYCATCHER numbers were above average. WILLOW FLYCATCHER numbers were
below average. Lots of EVENING GROSBEAKS...
Best bird was a PILEATED WOODPECKER which I mistook for somebody working
on their house. It was banging away for the entire 3-minute survey
window, but I didn't realize there was no house in that direction until
nearly the end. I walked over to the tree after the finishing the timed
count and confirmed that sure enough woodpecker, not carpenter.
