We've had unusual numbers of Cedar Waxwings moving through our yard today,
beginning with a flock of 25-30 early this morning in the Tulip Poplar tree
about 25 feet from our deck. Smaller groups have continued to feed in the same
tree all day.
Tennessee Warblers have also been present all day with the largest flock
numbering 6. We also saw Yellow-throated, Black-throated Green, Yellow-rumped
Warblers and a Yellow-breasted Chat that Virginia heard and saw for a moment
before it flew. Vireos were Red-eyed, Yellow-throated, and White-eyed. Had
our FOS Golden-crowned Kinglet and a Ruby-crowned also. Both the Scarlet and
Summer Tanagers continue to appear and the pair of Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers
have been here for almost two weeks now. We heard a Yellow-billed Cuckoo for a
good while this morning but could never locate it even though at one point it
was not more than 50 feet away.
We have not seen Eastern Towhees since Saturday, October 7th, and assume they
have left. We're down to 2 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds this afternoon.
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks continue at the feeders.
