Donna and I came across a goodish number of migrants at San Benito's Mont
Meta Cemetery in a brief visit this afternoon, including:
Eastern Wood-Pewee (5)
Warbling Vireo (1)
Blue-headed Vireo (1)
Red-eyed Vireo (3)
Summer Tanager (3)
Ovenbird (1)
Black-and-white Warbler (3)
Tennessee Warbler (10+)
Orange-crowned Warbler (1)
Nashville Warbler (1)
Cerulean Warbler (1)
Blackburnian Warbler (1)
Blackpoll (1) &
Black-throated Green Warbler (1).
I'm beginning to understand why in their ABA guide Mel Cooksey & Ron Weeks
describe the cemetery as "one of the Rio Grande Valley's most underrated
birding spots"!
Two oddities: there were no orioles, buntings or grosbeaks at the cemetery
even though our yard in San Benito has been ablaze with them throughout the
day; and when I went back there about 4:30pm everything other than the
pewees and tanagers seemed to have left.
