This morning on Coxcomb Hill - 5/1/2014

I did 15-minute interval stationary counts at the lower meadow gap
this morning from 7:00 to 9:00.  Temperature were in the low to mid
60's with a very light east wind.  Lot's of action, 46 species total.

First of the season birds seen:
  Western Kingbird       1
  Warbling Vireo         1
  Yellow Warbler         2
  Western Tanager       40 (steady pulses all morning)
  Black-headed Grosbeak  2
  Evening Grosbeak       7

Warbler numbers continue to be impressive as well with seven species
noted.  ORANGE-CROWNS and YELLOW-RUMPS still out numbering other
species.

Butterfly activity has been pretty good in the warmer than average
early morning conditions with a noticeable PAINTED LADY movement, ANISE
SWALLOWTAIL, ECHO AZURE and a single BROWN ELFIN.
