Morning all,
?I had what turned out to be the best migrant "wave" I've ever had here in the yard this morning, which ended prematurely when I had to go back inside to look in on my daughter, who is home recovering from surgery.
The "wave" consisted of 5 warbler species, including Black & White, N. Parula, Magnolia, Blackpoll and (#124) Bay-breasted (1st fall bird, perhaps male). Also mixed in the flock were Tufted Titmouse (2-3), 2 E. Phoebes, Chipping Sparrows, Red-eyed Vireo, and goldfinch. Also, in the front side yard, 2 male Rose-breasted Grosbeaks. The actual 'wave' moved through all the trees in the back yard along the edge of the property, from left to right, covering almost 3/4 of the yard before moving into the neighborhood. Quite a bit of fun watching them.
