We had our first breeding-plumaged Audubon's Warbler at one of our suet
feeders a couple days ago. We have had one or two Myrtle's all winter so I
believe the Audubon's was an early migrant. The Yellow-rumps usually do not
peak in migrating numers until later in April in Coos. Other migrants I
expect in soon include:
Caspian Tern
Purple Finch (mid-month)
Orange-crowned Wobblers (end of month)
C. Yellowthroats (also end of month or first week April)
Much wetter than last winter but I noticed the yearly precip so far is
right on average.
Merry March!

After having two or three Yellow-rumped Warblers at my feeder for many
days, yesterday I had at least five. Between hiding in the leaves in the
twinberry and sitting on the feeder, they were very active and constantly
changing locations, so there might have been more.
Today, there have been none. I'm assuming that they were preparing for
migration yesterday, and away they went.
