I spent the day counting violets (Viola adunca) along a riparian corridor this morning. while working I also got to watch a steady parade of warblers and flycatchers moving north. The numbers provided below are conservative....
Western Wood-Pewee 1
Hammond's Flycatcher 1
Pacific-slope Flycatcher 3
Hutton's Vireo 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 30
Yellow-rumped Warbler 15 (both Myrtle and Audubon's)
Black-throated Gray Warbler 10
Common Yellowthroat 1
Wilson's Warbler 4
The Western Wood-pewee was on the early side, but not unprecidented.
