Hi Cobirders We had a big arrival and notable departure since yesterday. Gone are most of the Western Wood-Pewees which have been terrorizing the insects of the Holmes Grove for days, also much reduced were Empid numbers though a few are still about. Just this afternoon here at HQ I found a Golden-crowned Kinglet, perhaps a little early way our here! As expected Wilson's Warblers were the major part of last night's arrival. We banded 63 birds of 21 Species before noon and the heat.
