This past week brought several migrant findings including:\u00a0 Black-throated Gray Warbler, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Western Tanager, and multiple sightings for the Black-headed Grosbeak and Wilson’s Warbler.<\/p>\n

Oddly enough, the Tanager, Grosbeak and Warbler were all males.\u00a0 Females of these species were nowhere to be found as Ryan points out below they typically arrive here first to locate territory<\/p>\n

I’ve included several images below – comments welcome – thanks for visiting.<\/p>\n

Summer Tanager<\/span> (note: this is a vagrant, not a migrant – thanks again Ryan)<\/p>\n
