This is the third weekend list in a row that we're reporting 40 species, and
the sixth in a row that lists Blue-gray Gnatcatcher.  Our Robins were
no-show for the second consecutive weekend and we missed other regulars too,
like Carolina Wren, C. Grackle and Cooper's Hawk.   I watched a fly-over by
a half dozen, or so, small wading birds that I did not identify.  We counted
two warblers and I did not include a third that I suspect was a Common
Yellowthroat.  This morning, soon after sunrise, I watched Summer and
Scarlet Tanagers in the same tree, which shades the house to the west.  I
think the Scarlet was only the second recorded in our nine years here.  I
watched a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker for a while (this morning)
wrestling with a willow oak acorn that it eventually managed to pull free,
along with some leaves.  It proceeded to try to stuff it, leaved and all,
into a crevasse in a dead limb on a nearby post oak tree!  A number of Blue
Jays, which have been scarce this summer, were around this morning,
apparently to check out the same acorns (which don't seem ready for
"harvest").  I also need to note that the Black and white Warbler that I
reported last weekend was a first here (not sure how I missed that last
week!) and takes our house list to 119 species. Stephen Tyson, Adairville
