I was outside early this morning for a short time, and found 30 species in
and around the yard. The warbler numbers increased a bit with 2
Blackburnians, 1 Chestnut-sided, 1 Ovenbird, 1 Worm-eating and 3 Hoodeds.
The complete list is at the bottom of this message.
At one time I had a Blackburnian and a Chestnut-sided in the stream at the
same time. Below is a photo.
Other interesting birds found were a Yellow-throated Vireo, a Scarlet
Tanager, an Indigo Bunting, an Eastern Wood Pewee, 11 Cedar Waxwings feeding
on wild cherries and a Gray Catbird.
The Hoodeds were chipping in the bushes in the backyard but one finally came
out into the open near the bird feeders.
Surprisingly, this Song Sparrow is carrying food to nestlings. I thought it
was a bit late in the season for that, but according to Cornell University
Song Sparrows usually raise 3 or more clutches and have been known to lay
eggs for as many as 7 clutches. Excuse the photo quality; it was taken
through a window.
