We are excited about the birds coming to our yard in this hot month.  Sunday 
evening we had the most beautiful Northern Waterthrush I've ever seen sit at 
eye level about 50 feet away on a wire that goes to the electric pole.  Monday 
we had Black and White Warbler and this morning a female Kentucky Warbler 
raised our heart rate as she perched just six feet off the ground in a tree not 
twenty feet from the deck.  These make 23 species of warblers for the year in 
our yard and 59 species of birds for the month of July.  The Ruby-throated 
Hummingbirds are emptying six feeders twice a day; when the babies all begin 
drinking too we're going to be very busy keeping them filled.
