Phil Jeffrey Reports on Yesterday's Birds


SWAINSON'S THRUSH --photo by LLOYD SPITALNIK-- 2006

OCT. 2, 2015    Notwithstanding favorable northerlies and a rather decent migration as judged by radar, warblers were relatively scarce today with most of the migration apparently being of Catbirds, Thrashers, Flickers and Grackles.  Most action was in Maintenance Field, with Strawberry Fields being quiet. The Dickcissel was a no-show.
