Migrant trap bonanza

[Mark Stackhouse <westwings at sisna dot com>]

Lest you think that the spring migration and the chance for any 
rarities is over, consider what we found on a private tour of Deseret 
Ranch today. At the "Big House"," a nice migrant trap in Rich County, 
we had Red-eyed Vireo, Least Flycatcher (both new for the ranch), 
Yellow-billed Cuckoo and American Redstart, along with many of the more 
usual birds. Altogether, even though the bad weather limited access to 
only a small portion of the ranch, we finished with 111 species - not 
bad for a cold, wet, windy, "post-migration" day.

June may not produce the great numbers of migrants which can be seen 
earlier in the Spring, but it's a great month for finding a few strays.

Good birding!
