Got my first "migrant" warbler of the season. A feisty Yellow-throated Warbler was making a nuisance of himself to the regular feeder birds. He seemed to particularly enjoy chasing a House Finch around... sic'im! Maybe he's an honorary hummingbird. I say migrant because, though they do nest in Knox Co., not in my yard. The funny part is that, as I was checking off birds on my daily yard list this morning, I looked at the big blank checkless spot around the warblers and wondered when we might get some migrants in. Then, as I walked out the door into the garage to leave for work, I hesitated and thought, maybe I should grab the binocs and take one last look around... nah, I need to go. Then I heard the fussy calls of the warbler and realized I was going to have to go back in for them after all.
