This morning I started my annual fall migration count on our property here on Compton Mt. I logged 34 species within a couple of hours. I can't say for certain that any of these birds were migrants because they nest in the area, but some probably are. I had 4 warbler species: a male BLUE-WINGED, a YELLOW-THROATED, a WORM-EATING and a male HOODED. I watched a YELLOW-THROATED VIREO eating Virginia Creeper berries. I knew Red-eyed Vireos ate the berries, but didn't know other vireos did. A YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO and a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK called from the woods, and a male SCARLET TANAGER fought with a large Praying Mantis in the field. The tanager finally gave up. A couple of WILD TURKEYS clucked in the neighbor's pasture as they foraged for insects among the stands of Yellow-winged Stem. I got a close look at a PILEATED WOODPECKER as it silently scoured the top of a dead tree for grubs. Below is the complete list.
