[obol] Nashville Warblers everyone?

[Jim Harleman and/or Kathy McNeill]

Oboler's,

I don't know about "the valley" but in the Bear Creek/Rogue Valley area the
numbers of warblers, including Nashville have been amazing. Countless
numbers of Yellow-rumps much beyond past years. Orange-crowned warblers and
Nashvilles have vastly exceeded what is normally seen at this time of year.
At first it was thought it might be the weather pattern causing them to hold
in this valley but with nicer weather the numbers have increased. But the
most noticeable warbler has been Wilson's. Where we normally see one or two
or none we are literally seeing them by the dozen. The number of Common
yellowthroats has been very high also but it appears their numbers have
tapered off this week. This week vireos in larger numbers than usual have
started to appear.

 

It has been fun to see.

Maybe I haven't been paying attention in past years, but it seems to me we
are hearing more than the usual number of spring reports of Nashville
Warblers in "the valley" this year.  I've had two in the past two days here
in McMinnville's Airport Park.  Anyone else thinking similar thoughts?
