Island 22 August 6

Some migration signs were observed today. A mixed flock with the typical ‘foundation’ of Black-capped Chickadees included at least four Wilson’s Warbler, a MacGillvray’s Warbler, Black-throated Grey Warbler and Pacific-slope Flycatcher as species not typically found breeding here. The chickadees are not concerned with territory now and several adults and young of the year made up the chickadees.

Love scanning the mixed flocks of Fall migration.

How were the mosquitoes there?

Not bad at all for mosquitoes. They have gotten a bit worse later this summer after starting off with hardly any but it's all relative and what's there now is easily ignored.
