Today was probably the best day for yard birds yet!
Early this morning at around 7:10, I had a nice 5-10 minute "conversation" with
a pair of Great Horned Owls right outside my bedroom window. I got my scope on
the female but I didn't see the male.
Later on in the morning, I went out "warbler searching". I was successful and
found nine species in a little over an hour.
Highlights of the morning:
Red-shouldered Hawk - 2+ (one was a juvenile, I didn't see the other one that
was calling, A few Ruby-throated Hummingbirds were telling the hawk a thing or
two about coming near "their" flowers!)
White-eyed Vireo - at least 1
BLUE-WINGED WARBLER - 1, male
Chestnut-sided Warbler- 4+
Magnolia Warbler - 3+
Black-throated Green Warbler - 1, male
Blackburnian Warbler - 3+, all females
Pine Warbler 4+
BAY-BREASTED WARBLER - 1, first fall male (AWESOME looks at about eye-level 15
ft away!!!!)
American Redstart - 8+ ,all females
Common Yellowthroat - 1, immature male
Good birding!!
