The great weekend counts continue here at Schochoh, with 47 species this
week; our highest count since the weekend of May 10.  We added a new house
species with the N. Rough-winged Swallow sighting this morning, which takes
our list to 121 (I posted photos at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/91780057@N05/10386518336/in/photostream/).
They were preening on the wire near a group of Tree Swallows.  We've brief
swallow flyovers recently, but this is the first that we've identified any
in many weeks.  I often noticed swallows in the air today, when scanning for
hawks.  Other highlights included a Hairy Woodpecker, for at least the third
consecutive week, a FOS Tennessee, one of four warbler species for the
weekend (I'd thought we missed Tennessee Warblers this fall), FOS Savannah
Sparrow and an Eastern Towhee, which we only see in migration and not every
year.  The big highlight was a Merlin, only the second that we've ever
counted here.  It was perched high in a dead oak tree, across the road,
where I often see a Kestrel.  I posted some lousy digiscoped photos of it at
http://www.flickr.com/photos/91780057@N05/10386677103/.  Our Indigo Buntings
are finally gone.
