Hi Nebraska Birders,
Last week was relatively uneventful, though overall better than I expected given the poor weather conditions: unseasonably hot with south winds are not good migration conditions! It seems like I was mostly catching birds that probably migrated in before the weather turned and were fattening up as they waited around for better weather to continue migration. Not much in the way of exciting species but I did catch three first-of-season species, all sparrows: Dark-eyed Junco, White-crowned Sparrow, and Chipping Sparrow.
The numbers were still dominated by Orange-crowned Warblers. Hopefully, this week will bring in some more sparrows behind this front.
Black-capped Chickadee: 3 repeat Northern House Wren: 1 new American Robin: 6 new Spotted Towhee: 1 new, 1 repeat Dark-eyed Junco (Oregon): 1 new Chipping Sparrow: 1 new White-crowned Sparrow (Gambel's): 1 new Orange-crowned Warbler: 15 new, 1 repeat Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle): 6 new
