Rare Bird Alert: June 2, 2017
It’s summertime, and for much of the ABA Area that means Breeding Bird Surveys and the brief slow-down before migrating shorebirds begin heading back south, sparking the official start of fall migrations. But it also means vagrants, there are still a few migrants up in the northern part of the continent and Alaska in particular is red hot right now. Plus, the magic of post-breeding dispersal is right around the corner. Proving once again that there is no rest for therarity-minded among us.
We’ll start with the continuing rarities, both in southeast Arizona. Slate-throated Redstart (ABA Code 4) and Tufted Flycatcher (5) are still around making a go at nesting on this side of the border. A Flame-colored Tanager (4) has also been seen on and off throughout much of the spring. Alaska is still hosting a bunch of Asian overshoots, including more Hawfinch (4) that we’ve heard of in a long time (maybe ever?), and a nice run of shorebirds like Lesser Sand-Plover (3), Common Greenshank (3), and Common Snipe (3).
As if the continuing birds weren’t enough, vagrants keep piling into western Alaska, with the highlights coming from Gambell this week where a Pallas’s Bunting (5) and a Common “Siberian” Chiffchaff (5) kept birders on St. Lawrence Island excited.
