Hi all,
 Did a brief tour of the yard this morning, with little activity. But  I did 
have a Least Flycatcher in the cherry trees (had one last year around this  
time in the persimmon tree), and I caught brief but nice looks at a fall CAPE  
MAY WARBLER (#101), either a first fall male or a fall adult female. I never 
got  looks at the upper back or tail, just the lower front face, breast and  
undertail. The bird flew into a cherry tree above me, coming in from the north,  
being harassed by a hummingbird (still lots here in the yard, feeding  
voraciously). It stayed in the tree really only long enough for me to get a few  good 
looks before it disappeared. 
 
Saw a nice male Baltimore Oriole, an E. Wood Pewee, and a small flock of  
waxwings as well, but not much else, beyond the local breeders, etc.
 
Have fun out there.
