A great morning which bumped my 2000 yard list up to 75. Highlights were a singing YELLOW-THROATED warbler that came to the edge of the woods and I was able to watch him through the scope. 2 ORCHARD ORIOLES fed near each other in the treetops. A WHITE-EYE VIREO came into my bradford pear. CHIPPING sparrows are increasing with 12 at the feeder. An obvious group of migrant BLUE JAYS came into the yard the evening before, with 35 that descended onto the feeders all at once. All the ususal suspects are starting to stream in.
