\"Yellow-headed<\/a>

Yellow-headed Blackbird (click to see the larger version)<\/p><\/div>\n

The hit parade of spring migration wonderfulness continued today, May 5 at Montrose. I ended up with 101 species in 6 hours of birding, only the fifth time I’ve topped 100 species in a day at Montrose. Passerines were abundant, with White-crowned, White-throated, and Swamp Sparrows and Yellow-rumped and Palm Warblers leading the way. There were also good numbers of Gray Catbirds and Swainson’s Thrushes. Interestingly, many of these birds were feeding in the tops of trees that were just leafing out, apparently on newly emerged midges. Shorebird variety, however, was low, which was surprising given the complete lack of dogs on the beach (thanks to CPD security) and the presence of a large fluddle on the public beach. The large number of people probably didn’t help (there were 2 major events at Montrose today). My highlights include<\/p>\n

White-eyed Vireo – 1, feeding in the top of trees, a common theme today
\nAll 6 regularly occurring swallows
\nGolden-crowned Kinglet – 1, getting late
\n20 species of warbler, the best being Prothonotary and Golden-winged. Only Yellow-rumped, Palm, Northern Waterthrush, and Ovenbird were common however
\nClay-colored Sparrow – 2
\nLark Sparrow – 1
\nYellow-breasted Chat – 1
\nYellow-headed Blackbird – 1
\nOrchard Oriole – 2<\/p>\n
