Hello,
Steve Schultz and were talking this afternoon about how slow the birding was the last couple of days at our locations, but what a difference a few hours makes! I was about to cut the grass at my house in N. Raleigh around 6:00PM, and I had quite a fallout:
Yellow-billed Cuckoo
Chestnut-sided Warbler (2)
American Redstart (3)
Scarlet Tanager (great close up view)
Tennessee Warbler (first in yard!)
Blue-winged Warbler (first in yard!)
Northern Parula
I also followed a Chickadee flock, and was quite successful.
At one moment I had a Blue-winged and a Parula chasing the same bug. And I had a Chestnut-sided, Scarlet Tanager, and an American Redstart in the same tree!
I love the early fall season! Now if I could only get some thrushes in these 50 Dogwood trees on my property!
