[Pepherup@xxxxxxx]

After such terrible heat, whenever a cooler day dawned I began to see bird  
movement in my yard .
    Last week in July,   small flock of  blue-grey gnatcatchers, still here.
                                  pair  of prarie warblers
    August 9 &  10         red eyed vireo
                                   yellow warbler, 1st year I think , here 
all day
                                  scarlet  tanager,  youngster , still seeing 
it almost daily.
                                  scarlet  tanager, male, alone.
    August  16                Yellow  warbler, very bright.
    
Most of these birds I do not see around my home except during  migration.  
Birds who seem to have left the area:  brown thrasher pair and indigo  
buntings.
 
Vist to very large farm pond (Gala Lake) which is drained in winter  produced 
a great egret,
green heron, great blue heron, kingfisher, blue grosbeak.
