Santee Lakes 5/15/18

I birded the silk oaks on the east side of Lake 4 this morning from about 9 to 10:30 am.  There were lots of birds but the Blackpoll was a no-show.  Another birder had  been there since 7:30 and had struck out also.  But because of the volume of birds in the silk oaks, if it made only a brief appearance it could easily have been missed.  Yellow Warlber – 40; Western Tanager – 25; Townsend's – 20; Hermit Warbler – 4; and Hooded Oriole – 6.
