This morning, I went to Welchester Tree Park hoping that the overnight rain would result in some great birding. Well...I was disappointed, only finding a few Yellow-rumps and Orange-crowned Warblers. The high number of Broad-winged hawk sightings continues as I had one fly right over my head and into a cottonwood. After watching for awhile, he took off circling the park and was joined by another Broad-winged from the north. They caught a thermo and circled high before heading north. I then took off to Belmar to find 150+ Yellow-rumped Warblers and 100+ Chipping Sparrows. In these large flocks, I was able to find Clay-colored Sparrow, Brewer's Sparrow, Lazuli Bunting, and Orange-crowned Warbler, but not much else. Photos of Tuesday's Broad-winged, and today's in flight, along with yesterday's Hooded Warbler are on the sight below:
