I made it back to the
Prescott Peninsula this morning to conduct another survey of the various small field complexes. The weather was a bit foggy to start but the fog had burned off for the most part by the time I left and the temperatures were climbing quickly as we head into what is forecast to be a several day long heat wave. I have not been able to get out to the peninsula as much as I planned this year for a variety of reasons but it was nice to be out there this morning. I arrived just before six and spent a few hours checking several fields and nearby areas (I also kept my ears open for the possibility of Red Crossbills but didn't have any luck hearing any). Most species have stopped singing for the most part (with a few exceptions) and the number of freshly fledged young having increased a lot since my last visit a few weeks ago. I managed a total of 55 species with highlights including a family of Golden crowned Kinglets, several Red breasted Nuthatches, a few Purple Finches, eleven species of
warblers and several Indigo Buntings. Nothing too unusual but a nice morning nonetheless.
