Nice Group of Migrants at Home ~ September 30, 2024

Birding was really good from the backyard patio this morning. I saw six species of warblers comprised of Chestnut-sided, Cape May, Yellow, Blackpoll, Northern Parula, and American Redstart.

A Merlin zipped by too quickly to get a photo. Later, a fairly late Broad-winged Hawk soared by, too.

Other birds of note included 2 Northern Flickers, an Eastern Phoebe, 7 Tree Swallows, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, a Gray Catbird, and a good count of 102 Blue Jays.
