This fall seems much more interesting in Walker Valley than last
year! The sparrows are abundant, numbers of Cardinals have increased
steadily over the week, as have White-breasted Nuthatches.
With the temp hovering about 50 degrees, it felt more like autumn,
but seemed a bit warmer when a Blue-headed Vireo started singing.
Must have had the same effect on the 2 singing spring peepers. That
is, until I ran into a flock of about 30 Yellow-rumped Warblers, then
a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Each was my first for the fall in the
valley. Palm Warblers and Phoebes are still around. A meadowlark at
least 50 feet up in a tree must have been migrating.
Now I need some good sparrows. Maybe Kyker this weekend, since the
fields in Townsend have all been mown. :-(
Good day!
