I was elated yesterday, after lamenting the lack of warblers and other migrants
around my home this month, to have an actual fallout event in my own yard.
Starting at about 9:00 AM there was much activity in my trees, my mini-prairie,
and around my small garden pool with a waterfall.
Seen on Thursday morning and again in early afternoon in my Onalaska yard:
-3 black and white warblers working trees next to my windows
-3+ Nashville warblers drinking and bathing in my little waterfall and foraging
among goldenrod stalks
-Tennessee warblers among goldenrods and visiting my water features
-An adult male redstart flitting around trees
-A Swainson's thrush in thicket by my windows
-A blue-headed vireo in my dogwoods and visiting my waterfall feature
-An adult male scarlet tanager bathing in my shallow rock-lined garden pool
-An adult female hummingbird and a male immature visiting my two feeders
Also seen on Thurs.: Green darner dragonfly and a red admiral butterfly on my
driveway
Unfortunately, today is pretty quiet around here. I'm glad I was home
yesterday to see the brief flurry of activity.
