Observation details
Counted by fives. Seen frequently perched along the stream in various spots, as well as substantial groups in flight overhead from time to time. Minimum count. Observed 1 individual perched at the edge of a gravel bar in the stream under a Russian-olive, reach 4, drinking from the creek. At least 30 AMRO as well as a male RSFL and a chipmunk seen in the Chokecherry clump N of the stream near the reach 3/4 boundary. Most/all of the leaves had dropped from that clump, but fruits remained; the AMRO were perching and eating fruits, then flying back to perch in streamside alders and willows, resulting in frequent back-and-forth traffic. Some seen foraging on the ground as well. 1 AMRO photographed in a shrub near the raised hill with an oddly long, downcurved maxilla.
