Totally outrageous hour and a half of birdie heaven right outside my
office window! Saw good numbers of each species listed and there were
many more that would have only been wild guesses - the warblers I
thought I saw were tough enough. Took tons of pictures to analyze for
other species or give up on. (By the way - I am so willing to be
totally wrong on all of the warblers as fall IDs for them are not my
special talent.)
Here's the list:
Rose-Breasted Grosbeak
Swainson's Thrush
Hermit Thrush (one - got to see sidexside comparisons - awesome!)
Robin
Tennessee Warbler
Chestnut-sided Warbler
Canada Warbler
American Redstart
Ruby-Crowned Kinglet
Nashville Warbler
Orange-Crowned Warbler
Yellow Warbler
Scarlet Tanager ♀ (yahooo! a long bath and everything- got some picks
with a handful of warblers along the edge of the pool as the tanager
bathed - looked like servants)
Blue Jays
Brown Creeper
Other possibly associated with the wave but were present after a long
absence:
Downy Woodpecker
Hairy Woodpecker
White-Breasted Nuthatch
And of course my chickadees.
As usual - when they were gone - they were gone. Am still having
sporadic waves but not like that big one.
