Confined to the yard by the need to work on it this AM, we were 
nonetheless treated to some fall migrants. One group consisted of 
Chimney Swifts, N Flickers, Blue Jays, Wood Thrush, Robins - all indeed 
common breeeding yard birds but in such numbers as could only be 
migrants. The swift was very high up and speeding directly south without 
erratic movements. Our local Wood Thrush has long since left, while the 
local Catbirds are probably augmented by re-fuleing migrants, mostly 
adults. A flower-sipping hummer was probably also a migrant since she 
did not seem to know where the feeders are.

Besides these, we also enjoyed brief appearances of Swainson's Thrush, 
Parula, Tennessee Warbler (our first in many years), Blackburnian 
Warbler, and FOS Myrtle Warbler.
