Returning Wood-Warblers In The Bay Area



Birders are reporting the initial appearance of northbound migrating wood-warblers to the Bay Area this week.

Newly-arrived ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS are currently joining brave over-wintering populations, with Oak-Bay woodlands one of the best habitats to hear and seem them.

Note the annual date range of first-returning migrants for this species in Marin County (the initial county north of the Golden Gate Bridge) is 2/18 (earliest detection) through 3/16 (latest detection), according to Dave Shuford’s “The Marin County Breeding Bird Atlas.”

Soon, other nesting wood-warblers of the Bay Area shall also appear, with their identities and date range of arrivals in parentheses below:

- WILSON’S (3/10 – 4/8) (shown above)

- BLACK-THROATED GRAY (3/31- 4/27)

- YELLOW (4/8 – 4/23)

- MACGILLIVRAY’S (4/3 – 4/30)

For a comprehensive list of arrival dates for Marin County landbirds, feel free to visit my Web site (www.warblerwatch.com) where there’s a button that provides access to the Atlas’ chart (page 39).

Fiji vs Wallabies Live online


Rugby World Cup 2019 will air on September 2019. You have not enough time to get ready. Your favorite Wallabies vs Fiji match also here under this Rugby World Cup 2019. As a die-hard fan of rugby, you need to know some essential element about this game. Because you are willing to enjoy the match. You should know about this match. Let’s know some important thing about this match.

It would take unbelievable favorable luck for Fiji Rugby Team to be contenders at the Rugby World Cup yet they can cause an irritated or two. They can without much of a stretch win over neutrals in the group too. Nemani Nadolo is a colossal nearness on the wing and great lock Leone Nakarawa is conceivably the best offloader on earth. Gracious no doubt, at that point there’s Semi Radradra, Peceli Yato, Niki Goneva. McKee has been with Fiji since 2014. He has spoken finally about the difficulties of collecting a predictable squad yet there is some terrifying ability around. He’s regulated successes over Italy, Scotland, and Georgia in Suva, and Canada in Narbonne.
