["Tommy Curtis" <tcbirdwatch@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We were both glad and sad to see our first fall Yellow-rumped Warblers this 
morning and they fed in the yard trees all day.  We love warblers and know when 
these late comers appear the warbler migration is coming to an end.  We also 
had Tennessee (several stayed all day) , Magnolia, Yellow-throated, 
Bay-breasted, Black & White, and an Overbird this morning and a single 
Ruby-crowned Kinglet.  A Broad-winged Hawk, Meadowlarks, and three Catbirds 
were obvious migrants during the morning hours.  A second White-throated 
Sparrow joined the one that appeared last Friday and he seemed happy to have 
company as they ate together.  The delightful Red-breasted Nuthatch that 
appeared yesterday remained today and continues to eat as I am posting.  And 
about a dozen Ruby-throated Hummingbirds persist at the feeders.  What a great 
time of year for birding.
