Lots of birds moving through and over my yard this morning, and I added quite a few yard birds for the year. Highlights were a single DOUBLE-CRESTED CORMORANT (over, not in), 2 TENNESSEE WARBLERS, 2 PALM WARBLERS, 6+ PURPLE FINCHES, and an imm. SHARP-SHINNED HAWK that sparred with a flock of BLUE JAYS for nearly 30 minutes, joined by a PILEATED WOODPECKER that attacked and chased the hawk several times through the trees. Quite entertaining.
