Birds of the Season — May 2024
It surely can’t be said that the spring of 2024 was an uneventful one. This season is generally thought of as a comparatively slow time for vagrants, but this year seemed determined to turn that idea on its head. There were a few of our more expected rarities, but some red-letter birds as well, including two first Los Angeles County records. In addition, lingering wintering rarities continued to be reported, though by early May most of these had moved on.
