We had our first two Yellow-rumped Warblers in the yard this morning and
have mixed emotions about seeing them. It's always good to see their
beauty but we know this means the end of warbler migration is near. And
September was such a good month in our yard birding we hate to see it
diminish. We ended up with 88 species, 21 Warblers, 5 Vireos, lots of
Summer and Scarlet tanagers, many Rose-breasted and a couple of Blue
Grosbeaks, 4 thrush species, several hawks, some oddities like
Red-headed Woodpecker and Olive-sided Flycatcher, and a couple of new
yard birds - Black-billed Cuckoo and a flyover Merlin.
But I'm cleaning the weeds out of the brush piles today to get ready for
the White-throated Sparrows and Dark-eyed Juncos and we're leaving that
one special hummingbird feeder out for Willie.
