This morning Sarah Lynch and I went for a walk around Jewel Lake. We noted a smattering of migrants/lingering breeding neotrops. Birds of interest included 2 Pewee, 1 Willow Flycatcher, 25 Warbling Vireo, 1 W-b Nuthtach, 1 Gnatcatcher, 1 House Wren, 10 S Thrush, 1 N. Waterthrush, 4 O-c Warbler, 2 Yellow Warbler, 2 B-t-g Warbler, 3 Townsends Warbler, 15 Wilson’s Warbler, 3 Tanager and 1 Grosbeak.
The Waterthrush was at the junction of Packrat Trail with the main fire road, right by the roundabout.
It seems to have been a good season for wayward W-b Nuthatch. I had one Friday on Bethel Island behind Russo’s, where very rare. Another at Booker T Anderson Park on the 23rd. And Forest Chapman had one Aug. 7th at Clifton Court Forebay (perhaps the first record for this location) and one at Piper Slough July 1st.
