Fun yard sighting. Blackpoll warbler, in my south Knoxville yard this week. New bird for me. Striking, even in fall plumage. And a lovely female Scarlet tanager popped out on a dogwood limb yesterday, beautiful olive and yellow against all the red berries and multi-colored leaves. Lots of hummers still coming through, mostly immature and female. (They look bigger this morning, fluffed up in the 46 degree air.) Just spotted a mature male at the feeder this a.m. Otherwise, mostly juveniles or females.
