["David Hollie" <featherbrain@xxxxxxxx>]

This morning was the best day of fall yet. No long distance migrants, but still 
some great birds!
It was a nice treat to see a female Canada Warbler as she flitted around low 
near the creek. Within a few minutes the trees were alive with chickadees, 
titmice, and vireos, perfect conditions for finding warblers. I saw a gorgeous 
Blue-winged Warbler as it flitted away from me, but it led me to a awesome Male 
CERULEAN WARBLER, yard bird #147!!!!! After that I saw at least 1 more male (I 
think there might have been 3 males in all) and at least 2 individual females, 
one of the females looked like a first fall female. I got to see the 
Blue-winged Warbler (I think there were 2 individuals) many more times as well 
as a single Yellow-throated Vireo. 
It was great entertainment watching a Ruby-throated Hummingbird attacking a 
White-eyed Vireo, as White-eyeds are very feisty little guys, I think the 
hummer was getting the white-eyed back for all they trouble white-eyeds have 
caused bird banders (lots of band-aids needed when you net a White-eyed Vireo).
