Another great day of migrants and others today at Huntington Central Park. Lots of activity at a wooded area with trickle of including abundant Yellow-rumps, Orange-crowned, Townsends, Black-throated Gray, Wilsons, Nashvilles and this Hermit Warbler, which was a lifer for me. Also abundant Western Tanagers, Black-headed Grosbeak, Cassins and Warbling Vireo, Pac-slope Flycatcher, all coming in to bathe near a wooded area with creek-like water flow. Its the wooded area near the center of the park where there is a blooming Erythrina tree with bright red-orange blossoms. Wilsons were singing away. A male Downy woodpecker flew in and a Nuttalls Woodpecker frequents the Erythrina tree, as do the Hooded Orioles. A Song Sparrow sang non-stop, and Bushtits, Lesser Goldfinch and California Towhees were in the area. The thick brush near the water looked like a great place for a MacGillivrays to show up but no deal. Anyone seen a Calliope lately in the Secret Garden Daniel Barica Huntington Beach |
