Hi All,
Yesterday a few migrants continued to pass through our yard here on Compton Mt.
A Blue-headed Vireo stopped by to bathe in the yard stream, as did a
Ruby-crowned Kinglet and a couple of Palm Warblers. A small flock of Chipping
Sparrows were still feeding here, and a Swamp Sparrow was feeding on the tops
of goldenrod plants.
A late Indigo Bunting bathed in the stream. It missed the late date for that
species by one day. A single Blue Jay stopped by to feed on sunflower seeds.
Seven Purple Finches (14 today) and a couple of Pine Siskins fed with the
goldfinches on the black oil sunflower seeds. A flock of about 10 Yellow-rumps
continue to inhabit the yard and the stream. A couple of Towhees, five
White-throated Sparrows, three Song Sparrows and a lone Junco fed under the
feeders. All of them scattered when an immature Cooper's Hawk made a fly-by of
the feeders. (Today a small Sharp-shinned came in to check things out.)
