1992 spring and summer sightings

Published in 1993

The spring of 1992 brought unprecedented birding coverage to our area, but unfortunately the witnessed migration was below average. Several observers commented on the scarcity of transient passerines on the coast. There were reports of several lingering waterfowl. Shorebirds were generally decreased, with acceptable habitat in limited supply in many areas. There were a few exciting birds, though, most notably passerine strays from the south and unusual larids.
