COBirders,
I first heard (peee-a-weee) and eventually saw an Eastern Wood-Pewee in a small cottonwood grove inside the fenced alfalfa field on the Chico Basin Ranch (fee area). This area is at the very south end of the alfalfa field (recently cut) and about ½ mile south of Rose Pond. The bird was mostly seen high in a very tall cottonwood snag and also in a tall live cottonwood.
The only other migrants I found were 6 continuing White-rumped Sandpipers at Headquarters Pond (PUE) along with a Semipalmated Sandpiper, unusual looking because of an enlarged throat area. Also there were two Swainson’s Thrushes in the headquarters willows but sadly no other migrants were seen or heard.
