We continue to see lots of warblers, vireos and several other unusual birds. In the past week we've had these unusual birds: Black-billed and Yellow-billed Cuckoo, 4 Red-winged Blackbirds, flyover Green Heron and Merlin, a Veery, and a mature and immature Red-headed Woodpecker. We've also seen Warbling, Yellow-throated, White-eyed, Philadelphia and Red-eyed Vireos and lots of warblers: Yellow-throated, Northern Parula, Hooded, Chestnut-sided, Common Yellowthroat, Worm-eating, Blackburnian, Kentucky, Pine, Bay-breasted, Magnolia, Tennessee, Yellow, American Redstart, Yellow-breasted Chat, and Black & White. So far this month we have 74 species and added 2 more yard firsts to bring that total to 131. And we're still looking through the hordes of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds to see if a little Rufous named Willie has come back yet.
