Yesterday (Sunday, 5/13) our SFO group made a quick stop at the
Hawthord Orchards at ~7:20am, where we heard a CANADA WARBLER singing
in the NE corner (near the white house), saw a female BLACK-AND-WHITE
WABLER, near the NE entrances, and saw/heard a BLUE-HEADED VIREO in
that NE forest/ravine. We didn't explore the orchards beyond just a
small NE loop, and didn't see/hear any other migrants.

The past couple of mornings, the Hawthorn Orchard has been devoid of
migrants. It was unnervingly quiet today and yesterday. It certainly appears
that most migrants in the area have moved on and have not been replaced by
anything new coming in from the South. The Wood Thrush that was holding an
apparent territory at the Northeast corner may have departed, since I’ve not
heard that bird since Saturday morning.
Only bird as a possible migrant today was a single Least Flycatcher, and
that was actually to the South of the horse-jumping pasture, South of the
Hawthorn Orchard. Sunday morning, I did hear and partially see a single
probable migrant warbler (Nashville/Tennessee-like) giving a few “seet”
notes from some buckthorn just West of the South rugby field. I couldn’t get
a good-enough look at that bird, though.
Presumably this lack of migration is all weather-related. It is mid-May, is
it not?
Good birding, at any rate!
Sincerely,
