Here are sightings, Leonie and I have had the last several days. Migrant passerines have been in low numbers along the bayside in the spring. The last several days there has been a push ofmigrants. Western Flycatchers, Western Wood-Pewees slightly above average in numbers, ( 3 ) Ash-throated Flycatchers at Sem Lane, Warbling Vireos, Swainson's Thrushes, Wilson's Warblers, Yellow Warblers, Western Tanagers and Lazuli Buntings. Time will tell going into June what late migrants may still be coming through.
At the Nob Hill Pond in Redwood Shores, ducks that are not usually noted during the summer period in the county are a drake Northern Pintail, ( 2 ) drakes and a female American Wigeon,( 2 ) drake Northern Shovelers and a female Canvasback. More American Wigeon. A drake and female at Bridge Parkway and Shell Parkway. Leonie and I were surprised to observed anOsprey on a nest at one of the towers near the old radio station at Radio Road. A new location in the county for breeding Osprey.
This morning, an old long-time favorite the drake Harlequin Duck was on a concrete slab out on the bay across from the Coyote Point Marina.
