Fairly birdy at Bear Creek Lake Park (BCLP)this morning. More
migrants than I have seen earlier.
Got 3 glimpses of a male Blackburnian Warbler (still very brilliantly
colored with flaming orange & yellow) as he fed in the upper half of a
large cottonwood tree before taking off high in the area going south.
This is a new bird for the BCLP checklist. The bird was seen in the
area where Bear Creek enters into the lake and can be accessed from
either the Boat Launch area or from Pelican Point with the low water
levels.
Other migrants of note:
Pelican Point - both Eastern & Western Kingbirds, a first winter
female Yellow-rumped Warbler (FOS), and both Wilson's and Yellow
Warblers.
Inlet area where Bear Creek empties into the lake - Besides the
Blackburnian Warbler, had a male Common Yellowthroat, and both
Wilson's and Yellow Warblers and a Gray Catbird.
Around Fitness # 1 and in all directions had 4 Sage Thrashers, a
female Orchard Oriole, 2 Clay-colored Sparrows, a Brewer's Sparrow,
Chipping sparrows, and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.
