This morning I checked on a few places to see if I could pick up some of our winter visitors before they depart. I did not turn up a Lucy's Warbler in the tipu trees in the Cacique Street post office parking lots. I had better luck at the Bird Refuge, where I had good views of the Tropical Kingbird that has been there since fall. I first saw it in a bare sycamore tree along the path between platforms 1 and 2; then it flew to the top of the Cypress tree near platform 1. I checked on the Winter Wren on Arroyo Burro Creek and for the second time since Hugh Ranson's report, I did not find it. I note that Dave Compton also did not get it when he looked recently. We hope that it is still around but future reports (including nil reports) would be helpful. I briefly checked the nice assortment of ducks at Laguna Blanca but did not turn up anything remarkable. The hybrid Sapsucker continues on San Roque Creek, but it took a long time to put in an appearance this morning. Florence Sanchez |
