We had a good movement of birds in the yard on Saturday. Warblers were:
Nashville, Palm, Tennessee, Bay-breasted, and Yellow-rumped. A Yellow-billed
Cuckoo, about 25 Cedar Waxwings, a Catbird, several Northern Flickers, and 2
Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers added to our pleasure, along with White-throated,
White-crowned, Song, and Chipping Sparrows. But the bird of the day was an
obviously tired and incredibly beautiful Blue-headed Vireo who sat 25 feet away
and just below our eye level as we watched from the deck and gave us a look for
at least five minutes before it began to feed.
That one Ruby-throated Hummingbird continues to come to the feeders on Sunday
and appears to be in no hurry to move south. The last time we saw
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks was Thursday so apparently they knew the cold front was
coming.
