Warblers and More 9/14/2020

 

  Favorable conditions overnight brought a few migrating birds to the yard on Monday.  I had 7 species of warblers. I was able to get photos of the Magnolia above, along with

Yellow Warbler

WIlson's Warbler

And Blackpoll Warbler.  

  Other warblers that I saw but couldn't get photos of were Ovenbird, American Redstart and Black and White. 

   Lincoln's Sparrows also showed up today.

    Lingering summer residents included 

    Brown Thrasher

     Red-eyed Vireo

 Among raptors a few Broadwings passed over in the mid-afternoon. 

  Also saw a couple Merlins.

    At one point a Merlin took aim at a Broadwing that violated its airspace.
