Snowy Plovers / Indian Creek Reservoir
I just received a report that two Snowy Plovers were found at Indian Creek Reservoir today. I thought I’d pass it along in case anyone wants to chase them. Good luck.

Re: Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Maybe my Evening Grosbeaks & Pine Siskins headed west. In exchange, shoo a few of those W Tanagers to the east side of the state!
The Rose-breasted Grosbeak has hit the seed feeder 3 times today for just brief intervals.

Re: Rose-breasted Grosbeak
I don’t have any Rose-breasted Grosbeak sightings to add, but I find it interesting that I am still seeing/hearing Pine Siskins, I found a large flock of Evening Grosbeaks today, as well as Western Tanagers for the last 3 days. Plus, I had my first Western Wood Pewee yesterday, and I’ve enjoyed at least 40 species each of the last 3 days, even in the pouring rain today. Gotta love migration. You never know who’s around the next bend. 😉

Re: Rose-breasted Grosbeak
I enjoyed reading about your Grosbeak observations. You have a nice variety of species. Good luck on the W Tanager. I hope it appears.

Also had our first hairy bat last night.
Re: Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Yes, I am still waiting for western tanagers as well.
Rose-breasted Grosbeak
Just had a RB Grosbeak male in full adult color appear at feeder. Had to look back in my records & first appearance of one at our river location was in 2017. Have seen at least one every Spring since. A couple yrs ago had 3 appear. Never stay long, but always a beautiful “shock” to see! And definitely, king of the feeder! I’ll see 5-6 BH Grosbeaks stacked all around & if any try to reach the platform, a quick nip by the RB & off the BH go!
Others: Lazuli Bunting, House Wren, Yellow Warbler, Am Robin, Song Sparrow, House Finch, BC Chickadee & BC Hummingbird. The Pine Siskins, Evening Grosbeaks, White-crowned Sparrows, DE Juncos & Chipping Sparrows have moved on. Still waiting for Western Tanager.
