We were both glad and sad to see our first fall Yellow-rumped Warblers this morning and they fed in the yard trees all day. We love warblers and know when these late comers appear the warbler migration is coming to an end. We also had Tennessee (several stayed all day) , Magnolia, Yellow-throated, Bay-breasted, Black & White, and an Overbird this morning and a single Ruby-crowned Kinglet. A Broad-winged Hawk, Meadowlarks, and three Catbirds were obvious migrants during the morning hours. A second White-throated Sparrow joined the one that appeared last Friday and he seemed happy to have company as they ate together. The delightful Red-breasted Nuthatch that appeared yesterday remained today and continues to eat as I am posting. And about a dozen Ruby-throated Hummingbirds persist at the feeders. What a great time of year for birding.
