Finally tallied yardbird #110 this morning. A Trail's-type flycatcher
that very co-operatively rattled off about a half-dozen "whit" calls
leading me to pick Willow over Alder. Not the habitat you generally
associate with Willow but I guess anything goes during migration.
Yesterday was quite but finally got some good activity following the
cold front. The hordes of starlings that have been roosting along the
ridge haven't completely consumed all the Black Gum berries and finally
had a decent number of Swainson's Thrushes eating them this morning.
27 species in about 1 hour of birding before work this morning (24 Sept).
Some highlights:
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - at least 3-4
Eastern Wood-Pewee - 2-3
Willow Flycatcher - 1
White-eyed Vireo - 1 singing
Red-eyed Vireo - 1
Eastern Bluebird - 12+ eating Black Gum berries
Swainson's Thrush - at least 3-4
Gray Catbird - 1
Magnolia Warbler - 1
Blackburnian Warbler - 1-2
American Redstart - 3+, including 2 adult males
