Can I believe it? ?  A livelier group than I have ever seen!   What is it about 
this old mulched area of my yard (small bark nuggets) that draws birds to it?
I had just come into the house very worn out and starved... and there they were 
in my back yard. I picked up my binoculars to identify them but the rascals 
where flying and darting around into the small leafless cherry tree, around and 
around the azaleas and small rhodendren, and next to my windows into the holly, 
peach, and butterfly bush... flying across the corner of my patio.

It was difficult, very difficult for my body was telling me to sit down, rest 
and eat something.  There could have been 75 or 100!  Darting to and fro.

I quickly identified the Chestnut-sided for they were prominent in the group.  
The next largest group was possibly Tennessee.  I saw at least one American 
Redstart when it fanned its tail. There were some young Black-throated 
Greens... No black on their throats.. at least the ones I could see enough to 
identify.

It was wonderful, gratifying and a huge challenge.  Sure enough they 
disappeared probably never to be seen again.  There are decidous woods with a 
few evergreens they went into to make my backyard quiet and peaceful again.  
Just a few Goldfinches eating black sunflower seed quietly.
