[TN-Bird] Avian fallout

Fall is just now coming in and during the past week we have  had a fallout of 
birds at our feeders and bird baths.  In addition to the  usual suspects of 
Northern Cardinals (in abundance), Carolina Chickadees  (ditto), Tufted 
Titmice, Downy and Red-bellied Woodpeckers, Carolina Wrens,  White-breasted 
Nuthatches, House Finches, and Mourning Doves, we have also  been blessed by 
the 
presence of small squadrons of dueling Ruby-throated  Hummingbirds as well as 
the 
variegated colors of Summer Tanagers, Blue Jays,  Eastern Bluebirds, American 
Goldfinches, American Robins, American Redstarts,  and Black-throated Green 
Warblers.  For good or ill, we have also had  morning invasions of iridescent 
Common Grackles, but they normally move on by  noon.
 
The supporting cast includes squirrels, chipmunks, and one  resident frog.
