Spring has arrived in Olompali State Park.
Yesterday, Saturday, between 10 AM and noon, up to three calling and located
Ash-throated Flycatchers were in the park.
Two Ash-throated Flycatchers were calling in and around the entrance path up
to the walnut orchard, and the third was calling from the southwest side of
the parking lot.
Also heard was a single singing Warbling Vireo.
I did try to locate the two wintering Red-breasted Sapsuckers, but I was
unable to, they may have left the park en route for the Sierra Nevada's and
further north.
A side note:
Having just returned from a field trip to the Eastern Andes Mountains of
Colombia, my group saw several Canada Warblers, Hermit, and Swainson
Thrushes moving in their northern migration.
A second side note: Yesterday afternoon, from 2 30 to 5 PM, behind my home
along Corte Madera Creek (near Niven Park, Larkspur), two Forster's Terns
and a Caspian Tern were diving as the high tide was flowing upstream. During
the low tide, Greater Yellowlegs and Long-billed Dowitchers were present
feeding on the mud flats.
