No luck relocating the Townsend's Warbler either last night or this morning. In fact, there seemed to be a near complete turn-over of birds overnight. On Thurs (6 Oct) I had a flurry of activity with 7 warbler species including the Townsend's, Red-eyed and White-eyed Vireo, first Ruby-crowned Kinglets and White-throated Sparrow of the season, Wood Thrush, lots of Indigo Buntings, a handful of hummers, and a few swifts. On Fri (7 Oct) things were much slower with only a single Bay-breasted Warbler, 1 RT hummer, and a few Indigo Buntings but did add a fly-by immature Red-headed Woodpecker and Blue Grosbeak (both new species for the yard year-list) as well as a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak and an E Wood-Pewee. On a late note, I didn't have a chance to post before heading to Detroit but on 1 Oct, I had 10 warbler species in the yard including a late-ish Yellow-breasted Chat which flew into the same patch of honeysuckle as the one a week earlier and disappeared (concievably the same bird given the close timing of my only two sightings for this species in the yard).
