Quick Update
Both Yellow & Yellow Yellow-rumped Warblers arrived en masse today. And, walked out on deck after most recent round of thunderstorms pushed thru & was met face-to-face by a male Black-chinned Hummingbird buzzing me to fill & out out the nectar feeder, lol! Did so & he was hitting it 5 minutes later!

Re: A Spring Migration Push
Wow, Patty! That’s an impressive group of spring migrants. The bunting, oriole, warbler & grosbeaks haven’t found my feeders yet. But, good to know they’re in the area.
This AM, a group of Cedar Waxwings that have nested in a widrow of Rocky Mtn Junipers, I planted yrs ago, have been scoping out the trees. Funny how birds can get on the “wrong side” of another. A robin kept chasing only one particular waxwing through the trees! Lasted about 5 minutes. Don’t know what that waxwing did to upset the robin, but it was entertaining to watch.

Re: Golden Plover ID (reviving thread from last week)
Let me just say, I called it Pacific from the start! A lifer, as (surprisingly) was yesterday’s Red Knot.
