I was out at 6:30-815am and very few migrants went through the 2 small canyons I was monitoring 1/2 mile above Circle Bar B near the mailboxes. A few Warbling Vireos and perhaps a couple Hooded Orioles and Laz Buntings and warblers went through that eastern canyon. No wind. Jim Hodgson mentioned it may have to do with wind and he has found northerly wind pushes down the migrants, who might otherwise be flying higher. I 'm not sure whether that was it or whether there were really very, very few migrants around the upper canyon branches. A good variety of birds in small numbers was seen up and down the Refugio Canyon road by other observers. My ebird.org/checklist/S137435343 . Ron Hirst, SB |
