We took Jim Williams' advice and went to Elm Creek Park Reserve to look
for migrants on Friday morning. Most were found in small flocks
foraging in sunny edge habitat, where the vireos were feeding on
nannyberries and graybark dogwood berries. We started from the Nature's
Crossing neighborhood spur trail and went SW.
The highlights:
Red-shouldered Hawk - 1 immature, very close
Green Heron - at least 5 at the marsh along abandoned section of 109th Ave.
Red-breasted Nuthatch - 4
Blue-headed Vireo - 1
Red-eyed Vireo - numerous, in small groups
Nashville Warbler - several
Tennessee Warbler - 1
American Redstart - several
Bay-breasted Warbler - 1
Common Yellowthroat - 4-5
Golden-winged Warbler - 1
Wilson's Warbler - 2
Black & White Warbler - 1
