The numbers of western landbird migrants were mediocre during much of the latter half of May, following a very good first half of May. But numbers seem up again the past week. For example, today, June 4th, I had a very good total of 21 Western Wood-Pewees in the Point Loma & Coronado areas, along with still 3 scattered late Hermit Warblers on Point Loma, as well as more expected 2 Willow Flycatchers, 1 Townsend's Warbler, 1 migrant Black-headed Grosbeak, and several each Wilson's Warblers and Western Tanagers. The excellent overall spring migration for Olive-sided Flycatchers continued up through yesterday. (Very late Nashville Warbler made it to June 1 and Black-thr. Gray Warbler to June 2, both on Point Loma.)
Vagrants from the east have also improved the past week, with Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, Ovenbird, Black-and-white Warbler, Tennessee Warbler, Summer Tanager, and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
