Windsor Beach SP Birding

Windsor Beach SP Birding

Female Anna’s Hummingbird on nest at Windsor Beach SP on 5/5/2012

As I was waiting to get the oil changed in a work vehicle, I walked the short distance to the Cactus Garden at Windsor Beach SP. I specifically went to search for migrant hummingbirds because Lauren Harter had two Calliope Hummingbirds near Yuma, Arizona this morning. I couldn’t track down any migrants but I had quite a few Anna’s Hummingbirds and one Black-chinned Hummingbird.

Migrants are slowly trickling through the Lake Havasu Area. I had 15 Wilson’s Warblers, one MacGillivray’s Warbler, and a lone Western Wood-Pewee at the garden this afternoon. Below is a complete checklist of birds observed.
