Yesterday morning was very birdy at our house. By 9:00 everything had quieted
down, but before that I either saw or heard the following warblers:
black-throated green, black-throated blue, blackpoll, Canada, yellow-rumped,
redstart, parula, prairie, chat, ovenbird and hooded. I also heard Baltimore
oriole, rose-breasted grosbeak, wood thrush, and yellow-billed cuckoo. The
blue grosbeak is still showing up at the millet feeder. Unfortunately so are
cowbirds, so I'm torn between wanting to keep seeing the grosbeak and wanting
to keep the cowbirds out of the yard. So far the grosbeak is winning out,
mainly because I've seen cowbirds at the neighbor's feeder so I figure even if
they're not at mine, they won't go far.
