Along the birdy back roads in northern Richland county on my way in this
morning, I heard a Worm-eating Warbler, several Summer Tanagers, a Wood
Thrush, several Hooded Warblers and Black-and-white Warblers, lots of
Red-eyed Vireos, a Common Yellowthroat and Yellow-breasted Chat. I saw one
bird - an adult Red-tailed Hawk stooping on something unseen in the grass
of a pasture.
Nocturnal listening this morning turned up one bird - a Yellow-billed
Cuckoo.
In the dawn chorus this morning in the yard was what might have been a song
phrase or two from a Rose-breasted Grosbeak. The Pine Siskins are still
with me, even though I previously posted that they were gone. Apparently
the "winter flock" has flown north and now I hosting migrants. Numbers of
birds fluctuate widely from morning to morning. Some mornings there are 30
to 35 Pine Siskins at the feeders; some mornings there are 3 or 4 Pine
Siskins at the feeders; some mornings there are 0 Pine Siskins at the
feeders.
Good Birding!
