This morning Bateman continued to have a good assortment of migrants
including some new ones for the season. Yesterday Ray Johnson found a
Black-throated Gray Warbler on Bateman. It was present again this morning.
Empidonax species 1
Warbling Vireo 1
Yellow Warbler 10
MacGillivray's Warbler 2
Orange-crowned Warbler 2
Wilson's Warbler 1
Black-throated Gray Warbler 1 immature male
Lincoln's Sparrow 1
There were several other birders out there this morning. I'm sure their
numbers and species totals were different as small the flocks kept moving.
Phil Bartley saw 2 immature White-crowned Sparrows.
The Yakima Delta had mud but either human activity or the new exposure
resulted in low numbers.
Solitary Sandpiper 3 (west end past the barricade)
Least Sandpiper 3
Red-necked Phalarope 3
Spotted Sandpiper 1
Greater Yellowlegs 5
Killdeer about 30
