Subject: Getting Back To Birds

MDOspreyers have been somewhat mute the past few days and BirdChat, 
the
other bird line I read, of late, has been obsessed with the
downside of birding--Brown Recluse and Black Widow Spiders, and then 
Deer
Ticks, and other ticks  which apparently also cause Lyme Disease, if not
somethings worse.

So back to birds.  After quiet mornings at both Riverbend and Great Falls
Parks, I thought that fall passerine migration was pretty well over.  Yet,
this morning in my yard, I saw Black-Thr. Blue warbler, Blue-Hd. and
Red-Eyed Vireos, Ruby-Crowned Kinglet, Yellow-Rump Warbler and White-
Thr.
Sparrow, in addition to the usual, resident woodland species. Have others
sensed that this fall's migration has been quite stretched out?  I should
add that I'm not complaining, especially after the lackluster spring
migration.
