I've been trying to work today, but every time I look out the window, 
there's some new migrant activity. Right now, there's an imm. 
yellow-bellied sapsucker in our plum tree. The pokeweed had a phoebe 
and a red-eyed vireo, with a magnolia warbler nearby. A lone catbird 
gulped down porcelainberry and pokeweed. A first winter 
white-throated sparrow is the first at our feeders this fall. 
Ruby-crowned kinglet working the branches above. Had a Swainson's 
thrush yesterday. Wonder what's next?
