Had a male Black-throated Blue Warbler between 10:30 and noonish today in the northeast corner of Hasty Campground, site 89. Bird stayed in crowns of Siberian elms feeding White-breasted nuthatch-style on elm leaf beetle larvae and adults atop branches (rarely was out in the leaves).. Never came low or cooperated much for photos but I did get documentary pics. Called Duane Nelson who unbeknownst to me was also in the campground. He was able to see the bird and then showed me a Townsend’s Warbler male he had found earlier. Another Townsend’s might have also been present.
While walking together and solving the world’s many problems (send contributions to my home address), we also saw Eastern Bluebirds, a female Bullock’s Oriole (late), Yellow Warbler (late), Dark-eyed Junco(somewhat early), White-crowned Sparrow immature Gambel’s (somewhat early), Western Tanagers eating Russian olives. Per Dan Stringer’s recent report, Lake Hasty continues to host Black Terns but little else.
