Hello Birders,
This morning 15 participants birded the trails at the San Pedro House and tallied 54 species. There seemed to be more migrants moving through the area on this Wednesday walk compared with previous walks this month. We saw 7 warbler species along with good numbers of Bullock’s Orioles, Western Tanagers and Black-headed Grosbeaks. We identified 9 flycatcher species including a FOS Western Wood-Pewee. Brown-crested Flycatchers were very vocal and appeared to be pairing up. We counted 15 Yellow-breasted Chats and had brief views of a couple of them. Sparrow species were down as expected this time of the year, although we did log a few lingering White-crowned Sparrows along with a Chipping Sparrow and a Green-tailed Towhee.
The Friends of the San Pedro River leads birding walks every Wednesday of May. For the month of May, the walks leave at 7:00a from the BLM’s San Pedro House south of State Route 90 just west of the San Pedro River. We walk about 4km and are out for about three hours. Bring your own binoculars, a hat and water.
The next San Pedro River birding walk is on Wednesday, May 13 at 7:00a.
