[TN-Bird] Saturday Sightings

We had a good movement of birds in the yard on Saturday.  Warblers were: 
Nashville, Palm, Tennessee, Bay-breasted, and Yellow-rumped.  A Yellow-billed 
Cuckoo, about 25 Cedar Waxwings, a Catbird, several Northern Flickers, and 2 
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers added to our pleasure, along with White-throated, 
White-crowned, Song, and Chipping Sparrows.  But the bird of the day was an 
obviously tired and incredibly beautiful Blue-headed Vireo who sat 25 feet away 
and just below our eye level as we watched from the deck and gave us a look for 
at least five minutes before it began to feed.  
That one Ruby-throated Hummingbird continues to come to the feeders on Sunday 
and appears to be in no hurry to move south.  The last time we saw 
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks was Thursday so apparently they knew the cold front was 
coming.
