That hawk should have read "Red-shouldered Hawk", not a Red-tailed. We get
very few Red-tails here on the mountain.

Subject: [bcbirdclub] Compton mt - Possible migrants
This morning two Black-throated Green Warblers flitted among the shrubs and
trees in the yard, feeding as they went. They were soon followed by a
Yellow-throated Warbler. Since both species nest here I can't say positively
that they are migrants passing through, but since I haven't seen any
Black-throated Greens here since back in the spring, it's a good bet that they
are.
A short time later seven Wild Turkeys came through the yard, pausing
momentarily at the blueberry bushes. I also had two Brown Thrashers at the suet
feeder, and a Yellow-billed Cuckoo calling from down in the woods. Also heard
or seen today was a Hooded Warbler (probably a resident), an Indigo Bunting in
the yard stream, Eastern Towhees at the feeder, several Eastern Bluebirds
around the yard, and a Red-tailed Hawk calling as it circled overhead. We also
have several hummingbirds feeding on the Jewel Weed at the edge of the woods
Attached is a photo of one of the Black-throated Greens, and a shot of three of
the seven turkeys.
