Another good morning in the backyard before work. Heard a song
which, being fall, was so out of place it took me a minute to
register it as Black-and-white Warbler. Eventually tracked him
down just to be sure I wasn't loosing it. Guess he thought is
was such a nice day that chip notes wouldn't do and it deserved
a full song.
There was a big movement of thrushes overnight 1-2 October with
good numbers of Gray-cheeked and many Swainson's calling overhead.
A few last night as well but much lower numbers. Both continue
to occur in the yard eating Black Gum fruit along with Veery and
thrashers, tanagers, woodpeckers, House Finches, Cardinals, etc.
