This afternoon I was in the right place at the right time, thanks to
noisy Chickadees who cued me in to all the other activity going on. Just
before 5 pm, after walking the dogs in our woods, I spent about 40-45
minutes watching and trying to identify quite a group of migrants
feeding and moving through the area right below our home. I stood in the
open area where our firewood is stacked while birds flitted all around
feeding high and low.
There were many warblers and quite a few I was not able to identify,
with their zipping around and still lots of leaves on the trees and
bushes, some were very high in the trees. These are the ones I did get
good looks at and were quite low, a real treat.
Common Yellowthroat (several)
Ovenbird
Black-throated Blue female
Black-throated Green
American Redstart
Magnolia
Nashville
Yellow-rumped
Blackburnian
Wilson's
Others seen:
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks 4 (feeding together in the same tree)
Blue-Headed Vireos 2
Catbird
White-breasted Nuthatch
Ceder Waxwings
Tufted Titmouse
Eastern Phoebe
Warbling Vireo
It was pretty magical.
Two days ago I watched a beautiful Canada Warbler in the Oak tree off
our back deck.
Good birding,
Gladys
