THE TWO BEST BIRDS OF 2002 FALL MIGRATION in my yard:
Blue-winged Warbler 9-25
Yellow-billed Cuckoo 10-8
The Blue-winged Warbler made its present known for a good bit of the morning.
The Yellow-billed Cuckoo was in the peachtree near the bird bath for maybe 5
seconds..but so close I could see the yellow lower mandible easily without
binoculars. There is no mistaking this LARGE bird!
Rose-breasted Grosbeaks 10-1-02 First sighting: Still here 10-10-02
Never see more than two at a time, but there are males and females in various
stages of maturity
Swainson Thrushes.. 10-1-02 through 10-9-02
There were three at one time on the edge of the birdbath. Another day one was
resting just outside my living room window in a butterfly bush. It flew to the
ground and sipped water from a fallen leaf. Were perhaps here today for I did
not spend much time watching.
