050222 Migratory Action in the Heat of 2022
Warbling Vireo
042722 Clay-colored Sparrow
042922 Lincoln's Sparrow
Green Heron, First of Season
There was also a second one in the area.
042122 Gray Catbird
Every year a pair come to breed.
042022 Snow Goose
At the end of March, this bird who was a juvenile at the time, and in the company of 19-20 Canada Geese remained at Boomer Lake until close to the end of April. It simply disappeared, even though it went everywhere with its Canada Goose entourage. Writer believes that nature finally struck and it reached the time when Zugunruh made it restless. It could easily be in its northern breeding area now doing what comes naturally.
Brown Thrasher
Several thrashers appeared in the area all calling for mates, which was fine for a day or two, but even nest mates will become angered and expect the others to move on, even if they must be forced to do so. This is the male that is left and he has a mate. As a matter of fact, just on May 4, one was seen collecting nesting material.
041522 Yellow-rumped Warbler
We still have a sparse amount of Myrtle Yellow-rumped Warblers that hatched later than the first group, which should be in breeding territory now. As one can observe, this male was in breeding plumage when this photo was taken.
