[Bristol-Birds] A few migrants, Hampton, TN

After a Monday and Tuesday with very little evidence of migration, things 
picked up very slightly today (Wednesday, Sept. 17) at home on Simerly Creek 
Road, Hampton, TN.

I had a male Common Yellowthroat. He was extremely difficult to coax into 
view, and then he had that odd plumage that shows only a hint of the full mask 
to 
come later. He had a very bright yellow throat.

I also saw a single Common Nighthawk. It's certainly odd to see a solitary 
bird after seeing some large flocks this season.

I also had a few Gray Catbirds and one young Robin with a very spotted 
breast.

The Ruby-throated Hummingbirds seem to have departed with the last wave of 
migrants, but maybe some newcomers will arrive and benefit from the feeders.
