Greetings:
We saw our first fall Rose Breasted Grosbeak at one of our sunflower feeders
this morning. Appeared to be a first year male flying solo. Did not see
him again.
We envy those of you that are able to run sprinklers. The
Magoffin-Morgan-Wolfe region where we live is in extreme drought and our
water source is a 350' drilled well.
Many of our feeder regulars are now locating poke berries and seed along
much of our .8 mile gravel driveway.
Due to the late killing freeze and dry weather, the resident population
changed some this summer. I appreciate all of your reports because they
often confirmed what I thought I was hearing or seeing.
Indigo buntings spent much time close to our home this year
I saw my first Blue Winged and Cerulean warblers on the property too.
Black and Whiles along with Red and White Eyed Vireos were abundant as were
Chats-seems like we had 3 nesting groups.
Returned last week from Traverse City in northern Michigan near the area
where Kirtland Warblers stay. While traveling, we saw a bald eagle join
some vultures for a road kill deer feast. Was peculiar to see a bird with
such a "dignified" image scrappin" at the carrion trough.
