Hi All,
Several migrants passed through the yard here on the mountain yesterday. A
female Black-throated Blue, a male Hooded, A Tennessee, 3 Worm-eating and 4
Yellow-throated Warblers came into the stream to drink and bathe. They were
joined from time to time by at least 6 Scarlet Tanagers and a couple of
Red-eyed Vireos.
Lynda was surprised to look out the kitchen window and see a female Baltimore
Oriole attempting to drink from the hummingbird feeder. I later put out some
orange halves and even though we saw 3 more Baltimores in the yard, none ever
ate from them, at least while we were watching. At one point a male Baltimore
Oriole and an Eastern Kingbird were both in the stream at the same time.
Later in the day a Sharp-shinned Hawk flew into the yard and put all the birds
into high gear, but it soon moved on and normal activity resumed.
