Hi birders,
Every year I look for a number of common migratory birds, that I believe
breed in my Soquel neighborhood. Today, the last one that I track made
it's appearance, the OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER.
Other migrants present today that I look for included:
A fun surprise was a bright male WESTERN TANAGER in full breeding
regalia. WESTERN TANAGERS don't breed in my neighborhood AFAIK, but they
do pass through in spring and fall. My understanding is that they breed
up in the Santa Cruz Mountains, and further inland in the Sierras and
foot hills.
Full list of birds seen or heard this morning with a few, ahem,
documentary photos:
