with Rita, also Carole and Larry Rose (Carole had also been here previously in the late morning). Sunny, warm, calm; lots of the 'flame trees' were flowering. We spent most of our time in "the thicket" in the northeast corner of cemetery

Observations

  1. Number observed:  50
  2. Number observed:  3

    Details

    one was an adult male with entirely rufous back (ph), the others were juvs seen hovering multiple times in flight with spread tail, in which the white-tipped outer rectrices looked to be as broad as the adjacent rectrices.

  3. Number observed:  2

    Details

    both extensively rufous-rumped juvs, each in a different flowering tree that was filled with hummers, and which, when the spread tail was seen in binocular, appeared to outer rectrices that were 'medium' in width, rather than as wide as the adjacent rects. These would not be considered fully proven ALHUs but, as we know from local banding records, some juv Allen's linger well into August

  4. Rufous/Allen's Hummingbird

    Number observed:  20

    Details

    including multiple birds seen but tail not studied, and others heard only

  5. Number observed:  2
  6. Number observed:  2
  7. parrot sp.

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    loud screeching from a red-flowering 'flame tree' seemed likely to be a largeish parrot on tone, but efforts to see it failed and we did not hear it again

    DR write: "likely an adult, and likely an adult female, found and photographed about an hour earlier by Carole Rose. I refound it in a smallish budding bush in 'the thicket' after about a half-hour's search. Small, short-billed and short-tailed smallish warbler -- szie and shape that we used to associate with genus Vermivora -- that struck me as having an exceedingly bright chartreuse back and wings (i.e., yellow-green but more towards green) that contrasted with mostly pale gray head and quite white underparts. Head with gray crown and nape, a prominent white supercilium, a dark line through the eye and across the face, and gray lower face, contrast with bright white throat. Eye dark. Upperparts unmarked (no wingbars). Bill short, thin, darkish, maybe a bit paler at base of lower mandible. Throat and bell;y white bell but the whitish breast looked to be washed with a pale buffy-yellow that was washed out in sunshine. Vent and long undertail coverts bright white. Tail short and forked. Primaries quite long and reached nearly to tip of tail. Each of the longer primaries seemed to have a very tiny white tip. Legs thin and short for warblers, blackish to blackish-gray in color. It gave a sharp call note in flight. Both Carole and Rita got photos while I was studying it in the bush.
