Migration has ratcheted up a notch here on Compton Mt this week. On the
15th I saw the first FOS PHILADELPHIA VIREO. In addition to the Philadelphia
we had BLUE-HEADED, RED-EYED and YELLOW-THROATED VIREOS. Also on the 15th
we had our FOS PALM WARBLER, and we are still seeing a few HUMMINGBIRDS
visiting the blooming Jewel Weed. On the 16th in a 30 minute period we had 13
warbler species to come to the yard stream along with CEDAR WAXWINGS,
SCARLET AND SUMMER TANAGERS. We are also seeing EASTERN KINGBIRDS and EASTERN
WOOD PEWEES moving through the area, as well as SWAINSON'S THRUSHES, GRAY
CATBIRDS, BROWN THRASHERS, INDIGO BUNTINGS, BALTIMORE ORIOLES AND
ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS.
The warbler species that are moving through include AMERICAN REDSTARTS,
BAY BREASTED, BLACK-AND-WHITE, BLACK-THROATED BLUE, BLACK-THROATED GREEN,
BLUE-WINGED, CAPE MAYS, KENTUCKY, MAGNOLIAS, NASHVILLES, PALM, TENNESSEES,
YELLOW-THROATED AND WORM-EATING.
Photos of several of the visitors with drama included can be found at
