From one of the most adroit of the Mt D birders:

There will undoubtedly be more reports, as there were a throng of birders up on Mt. D. this morning when I left and folks mentioned some different species. Brian F. and Andy K. were there from sunrise on, followed by Josiah C. and me, David A., and 4 or 5 other folks.

Warm morning, variable wind gusts from the NE/E/SE. Migrants were moving through in small flocks (esp. Cedar Waxwings, warblers, W. Tanagers, Lazuli Buntings), many not setting down on the hill at all, but instead flying from low level to tree top level over the hill.

Species I observed with others between 6:50-8:40 AM included (conservative estimates of individuals):

  • Band-tailed Pigeon 6
  • Hairy Woodpecker 1
  • W. Kingbird 3 fly-overs
  • Olive-sided Flycatcher 1
  • W. Wood-Pewee 2-3
  • Pac.-slope Flycatcher 3+
  • HAMMOND’S FLYCATCHER 2 (lower Ravine)
  • DUSKY FLYCATCHER 2 (Ravine, East Bramble)
  • GRAY FLYCATCHER 1 (East Bramble)
  • Cassin’s Vireo 1 (lower Ravine)
  • Warbling Vireo 10+
  • Swainson’s Thrush 3
  • Warblers:
    • Orange-crowned 2
    • Yellow 5+
    • Townsend’s 20+
    • Hermit 1
    • Wilson’s 20+
  • W. Tanager 20+
  • Bl.-headed Grosbeak 2
  • Lazuli Bunting 20+
  • Pine Siskin 1
  • Purple Finch 1

Dragonflies: California & Blue-eyed Darners

Butterflies: W. Tiger Swallowtails
