[TN-Bird] Cerulean: First Fall warbler

    Well, the old sprinkler on the shrubbery did it again today (August
21).  With all the heat (90 F) and relatively dry weather, thought I'd
see if I could draw in any early fall migrants.
    Initially got lots of cardinals, towhees, chickadees, titmice, and
wrens taking sprinkler "leaf baths."  Then amidst the crowd I spotted
her--an immature Cerulean Warbler--first fall female, according to Dunn
and Garrett's Warblers.  Standard cerulean patterns with an all green
back--no blue, no streaking.
    Woo-hoo!  Time to starting looking for fall migrants and crank up
that sprinkler late in the afternoon.
