At approximately 8:25 a.m. this morning we had the most amazing 10 minutes in our yard birding experience. In the oak tree just behind my wife's workshop there must have been a hatch of especially delicious insects. In an area about 15' x 15' in that tree we saw these birds: Warblers: Black-throated Green, Chestnut-sided, Magnolia, Pine, Black & White, Golden-winged, Orange-crowned, Tennessee. Tanagers: Summer and Scarlet Flycatchers: Least Our resident Indigo Bunting, Bluebirds, Chickadees, Titmouse, and Nuthatch also came to feed and Starlings and Bluejays came to investigate. We'd already had the Blue-winged Warbler earlier in the morning, so it has been a good day already.
