The fall migration is building. I had 48 species in the backyard today. I
counted 39 species while standing in one spot for about an hour. Eleven
species were warblers (see list below). The surprise of the day was an
immature Red-headed Woodpecker, a species I rarely see, and then only during
fall migration. Vireos were on the move this morning with 4 species being in
the yard at the same time - Red-eyed 5, Yellow-throated 3, Warbling Vireo 1
and Blue-headed 2. There were 3 flycatcher species - Eastern Wood Pewee 2,
Eastern Phoebe 2 and Empidnonax sp. 2
Here is a photo of a male Indigo Bunting that came to the stream today. He
is getting his winter plumage.
