[Tweeters] Clark County Spring Migration location this morning

[Jim Danzenbaker via Tweeters]

Hi Tweeters,

With Birdcast reporting that 1.259 million birds (
https://dashboard.birdcast.info/region/US-WA-011) had passed through Clark
County from 7:50 last night through 6:30 this morning, I decided I had to
check the migration location on Larch Mountain in eastern Clark County.
While not bowled over by the volume of birds, my visit still yielded some
good results and a few county rarities too!

Cassin's Finch - 1 (not recorded every year but probably occurs every year
along the eastern edge of the county)
Pine Grosbeak - 1 (not annual in this county)
Townsend's Solitaire - 2 (one bird presumably on territory)
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 74 (the first push of warblers this season)
Golden-crowned Kinglet - 47 (surprisingly common migrant here)

Here's today's list which has embedded location information:

The total species seen on Larch Mountain this year for me stands at 51.
Last year's total for me was 99.

Keep your eyes and ears skyward.

Jim
