I had
several Dusky Woodswallows flying very high over my
house on Wednesday and Thursday. I don't know how many. Most I could see at one
time was 3 but mostly I could only hear them.
I also
had an Olive-backed Oriole in my neighbour's jungle
yard, feeding on figs, last week.
Philip
Wayne/Ann, of the summer migrants Duskies are among the last to leave, and
along with the Olive-backed Oriole stay in reasonable numbers until about the
first or second week of May, though some stay and overwinter – the numbers that
stay varies with in 2013 very few duskies present during the winter
period.
