   This morning revealed the best migrant fall out this season in Ashburn, 
Northern Virginia.

    Highlights included Blue-headed Vireo, Red-eyed V ,Warbling V ( all 
singing side by side in the same tree ) , Warblers : Yellow ( 3 ) 
,Chestnut-sided ( 2) ,Redstart , BT Blue (4) , Magnolia , C.Yellowthroat 
,Ruby-crowned Kinglet (4) ,Veery ,Wood Thrush , Yellow-bellied Flycatcher ( 
ID confirmed by call ), Scarlet Tanager ,Rose-breasted Grosbeak and Balt. 
Oriole (2 ).

   Lastly the Cooper's Hawk pair successfully continue their nesting efforts. 
I expect hatchlings in the next five days. The male bird " escorted me off 
the premises " this morning and then proceeded to dispatch an unwary squirrel 
.

As I write this e-mail , litterally hundreds of Yellow-rumps are erupting out 
of the trees heading North.hopefully to be replaced with something different 
tommorrow.
