How ironic after my post this week about the disappearance of our Carolina 
Wrens that while we were on the deck this morning we suddenly heard that 
beautiful sound of one and in a moment he popped into view.  There was only one 
so we assume it might be a migrant rather than one of the family that had been 
here before.  But whichever it is, we were so excited to hear that song again.  
It was a good birding morning in our yard.  We had flyover Double-crested 
Cormorants, a Green Heron, two Canada Geese, six Black Vultures and two male 
Baltimore Orioles.  In the yard were three male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks and one 
female, two male and one female Indigo Buntings, several male and one female 
Orchard Orioles, one female Baltimore Oriole, gorgeous male and female Yellow 
Warblers that ate for nearly an hour, one Chipping Sparrow, a Yellow-breasted 
Chat, one Red-eyed Vireo and another vireo that probably was a Warbling but we 
had such a brief look we hesitate to call it; both of us thought the size was 
right for a Philadelphia.  And the White-throated Sparrows continue along with 
the Pine Siskins as do all the regular yard birds.  Ruby-throated Hummingbirds 
seem to have stabilized at about 20-25 as we suppose that is about all the 
three feeders can sustain.
