KMT report for 3/19/05   
 

 
 


Time: 7:00am to 10:00am
Conditions: Clear
Temperature: 34°
Observers: J. King, A. Humter, Roy & Andy Hester

The conditions were good but the birding was slow. We had no migrants at the base of 
the mountain. There were a lot of Robins in the field, a few other common species but
 nothing to be proud of.

Shortly after starting up the mountain we saw a Red-tailed Hawk,
 then 4 Pine Warblers, 2 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers and a Hermit Thrush. 
We got almost to the saddle before encountering 3 Golden-crowned Kinglets
 and 2 Ruby-crowned Kinglets along with 2 Eastern Phoebe.
 Nothing else was seen until we got back to the bottom and we saw 7 Juncos
 and 1 Hermit thrush.

Like I said at the beginning it almost was not worth reporting.
  I have hope that it soon improves. At that time I will put the report
 in proper order. Simply, I wanted to express where and explain just how little
 we had seen today and that is why the report is not in proper order.

Better days will be here shortly
