After seeing 74 yard birds last month, the first day of September was a good beginning for this one with 44. Warblers included Yellow, 3 Magnolias, m & f Tennessee, f American Redstart, Yellow-breasted Chat, and Black & White. In addition there was an immature male Baltimore Oriole, Summer and Scarlet Tanagers, Blue and Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, and White-eyed and Red-eyed Vireos. The highlights of the day were an immature Olive-sided Flycatcher in the same tree where we had a mature one last year in late August and an immature Red-headed Woodpecker a few minutes later in the same tree. We didn't see any Common Nighthawks after observing 5 fly over yesterday morning around 9:00.
