VA Birders,
This morning as I was standing in my backyard watching the migrants pass
through, I heard a bird pass by within a couple of feet behind me, then it
thumped loudly against the side of the house. I turned just in time to see
it fall to the ground. It was a TN Warbler. It struck the wall at full speed
and died almost instantly. I thought it was unusual that it struck a white
wall with no window nearby. If the bird was being chased I didn't see the
other bird.
Other birds seen were:
Northern Parula 1
Yellow-throated Warbler 2
Black-throated Green Warbler 1
TN Warbler 10
Yellow-throated Vireo 1
Eastern Kingbird 2
Great-crested Flycatcher 1
Gray Catbird 1
Baltimore Oriole 3 (2 adults, 1 immature)
Scarlet Tanager 3
Am Robin 20
Wild Turkey 13
