This morning was the best birding day in our yard this year. After a
disappointing spring migration when only a handful of warblers trickled
through, a good sized flock of mixed birds this morning in the yard yielded:
6 Blue-gray Gnatcatchers
3 Red-eyed Vireos
2 White-eyed Vireos
3 Orchard Orioles
2 Scarlet Tanagers - male and female
4 Cedar Waxwings
These warblers: Northern Parula; Kentucky, Black and White; Common
Yellowthroat, and a mature Prairie which gave us the best up close and
prolonged looks we've ever had.
We hope today is the beginning of a great fall of bird watching from our deck.
