[cobirds] Re: Warbler flock-Belmar Park-Jefferson County

First and foremost this is not birding where you arrive and the birds have tea and crumpets layed out awaiting your visit, effort is required.   In three hours on 9/20 I had 2 Orange-crowned (OCWA), 47 Yellow-rumped (YRWA) many more present, 2 Towsend's (TOWA) and 4 Wilson's (WIWA). In three hours on 9/21 I had 1 OCWA, 1 MacGillivray's (MGWA), 1 American redstart (AMRE), 53 YRWA many more present, 1 TOWA and 3 WIWA.  I must admit there are so many YRWA that sorting through them is very time consuming.  Excellent birding.  There was also a Lesser Scaup present both days that eBird has tagged as rare (too early for JeffCo)?

Happy Birding,

This afternoon after 4:00 PM I ventured over to Belmar Park to check on possible migrants.  I was not surprised at all to find a large flock of Warblers.  Orange-crowned, Townsend's and Wilson's were all present.  In addition there were many Yellow-rumped, 75-100 minimum, mostly Audubon's with a few Myrtle thrown in.  I searched diligently but nothing unusual was found.  A worthy afternoon!

 

Good Warblering (Birding)
