Hi all, I took a late lunch walk today. There were a few migrants. First I saw and heard the House Wren, his bubbling song was exhilarating. Then I saw this flycatcher with olive green back and wing bars and clear eye-ring, I called it a Trail's Flycatcher. But later on the way back it was giving continuous 'whit' calls and confirmed that it was a Willow Flycatcher. I also watched it chase a moth for some time. The third migrant was also first heard and then I knew where exactly to look for it among the newly emerging buds. It was a beautiful Yellow Warbler. Lastly, I heard a Gray Catbird call, but did not get visuals on it.
So that was exciting!
