After a big weekend for warblers, thrushes, flycatchers, and waxwings at my
house in Bayfield County, this morning featured a changing of the guard with
fewer warblers, except more Palms & Yellow-rumps; my first migrant Winter Wren,
Blue-headed Vireo, and Ruby-crowned Kinglet; and an influx of Lincoln's and
Swamp Sparrows, as well as my first White-crowned Sparrow, my earliest ever by
5 days. Other highlights for me over the past week include Yellow-throated
Vireo and Red-bellied Woodpecker (both locally uncommon), first Dark-eyed Junco
on Sept 2, and a day later one of my most overdue yard birds -- a Red-headed
Woodpecker. Red-breasted Nuthatches and Purple Finches have been southbound in
somewhat good numbers for this time of year as well.
