In the past couple of days our yard has been busy with Yellow-rumped
Warblers, Chipping Sparrows, Palm Warblers, an Ovenbird, a couple of
Orange-crowned Warblers, our FOS Hermit Thrushes, one yesterday and one
today. Today we also had 5 Purple Finches, a Tennessee Warbler and a
Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Not migrants, but we also had 8 Bluebirds in our
stream at once yesterday. Unfortunately they were spread out, so I couldn't
get them all in a single photo. Here is a photo of some of them.

This Yellow-rumped Warbler decided to sunbathe in the tree just outside our
kitchen window. It remained in that position for several minutes.
I was surprised to see this Ovenbird still around this late in the season.
This Northern Mockingbird was flashing its wing markings as it went toward
the stream.
