Hi, all!
Had some nice migrants at Quinta Mazatlan this morning, the best one being
a SINGING Alder Flycatcher! (Granted, he only did his "Ree-BEE-oh!" once,
then started pipping, but I was glad of the ID-clincher...) Other migrants
included several Yellow Warblers and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, some Orchard
Orioles, a pewee, and a couple of Olive-sided Flycatchers. A pair of Green
Parakeets were in good form atop the dead palms in the "new" area, and a
juvenile Clay-colored Thrush was fun to see, with its spotted breast! Ran
into Tiffany doing a bird walk, and she pointed me towards their resident
Pauraque which I always seem to miss, but thankfully not this time!
Over at Old Hidalgo Pumphouse, I was glad to get the Monk Parakeets right
along the entrance road! The Walking Trail behind the Wall is now closed
(don't blame them), but even a short walk along the levee was pretty rough
heat-wise; down at the resaca bagged the Black Phoebe pair and a Green
Kingfisher. A couple of fresh Archilochus hummers came right in my face in
the
garden area! A calling Gray Hawk was new for my OHP list.
