Evening all,
A nice stroll around the yard this morning, yielded a Blackpoll Warbler, a baypoll, that looked good for Bay-breasted, a first fall female Common Yellowthroat, a Least Flycatcher, Red-eyed Vireo, a small flock of Cedar Waxwings, groups of 10-20 or so Blue Jays flying over all morning, lots of N. Flickers, Gray Catbird, and later a single immature Broad-winged Hawk, 2 Sharp-shinned Hawks, 2 (local) Red-shouldered Hawks, lots of Chimney Swifts.

Yesterday at least 3 Scarlet Tanagers, the last of the RT Hummingbirds (none today!), except perhaps for some late stragglers, a Brown Thrasher and several empids.

Fall is on the way!
