| Blackburnian Warbler at the Lighthouse. |
Tuesday night the conditions were good for a small wave to hit the Farallons yesterday. The light south winds and low overcast sky made made my fourth day on the island a good one. As I was eating breakfast this morning, the first landbirds started dropping in to the lighthouse, with reports of
Bay-breasted and
Blackburnian Warblers, American Redstart, Olive-sided Flycatcher, and
Rose-breasted Grosbeak over the radio. After my morning sea watch, where I picked up my year
Pink-footed Shearwater, I began searching the island for birds, turning up several new arrivals including two
Clay-colored Sparrows, several
Townsend's Warblers, and the
Blackburnian Warbler. However, it wasn't until I made it up to the lighthouse for my shark-watching shift that I got to see almost all of the vagrants reported on the island for the day. The only one I missed was
Ovenbird.
Tuesday afternoon was good as well, with a couple vagrants arriving in the afternoon including
Baltimore Oriole and
Tennessee Warbler.
