fall out --wave here

[Russell Emmons]

My usual concern and complaining about the lack of birds in this area, particulary migrants will have to take a bit of respite the past day or two! Some sort of wave or fallout has brought a flurrie of activity to our property and the adjoining next door undeveloped Twp. park!  Noteworthy sightings since last evening, most usually not seen all at one time here are:


Purple Finches  4
Red Breasted Nuthatches  4
Yellow Bellied Sapsuckers   3
Yellow Rumped Warblers 2
Blackburnian Warbler  1
EASTERN WOOD PEE-WEE   2
Robins   dozens, flyovers & on the lawns
Tufted Titmouse  4
Red-tailed Hawks 2
Coopers Hawk  1
Turkey Vultures  2
Cedar Waxwings   8
Common Grackles  dozens everywhere
Eastern Bluebirds  2
Gray Catbird  1
Killdeer  3
Brown-headed Cowbird  12

Plus the usual permanent residents:

Red Bellied Woodpeckers  3
Downy Woodpeckers  4
Black-capped Chickadees  6
Blue Jays  8
Cardinals  4
Goldfinch   10
House Finch  15
White- breasted Nuthatch  3
Mourning Doves  10
Starlings 15
American Crows  3
House Sparrows  20

Quite a "busy bird" day but alas no Hummingbirds seen for a few days
