If you keep watch on the sky, that same sky that was filled with Turkey
Vultures a week or so ago, you'll see flocks of robins and Cedar Waxwings
zooming overhead, often (but not always) southward bound. The traffic is
substantial but sporadic. As Gene wrote, this is their time of year.
Starlings are migrating now, too. Yellow-rumped Warblers are on the move
by the hundreds (thousands? tens of thousands?); all of the many I saw at
Spencer Island Sunday were "Myrtles." A lot of Golden-crowned Sparrows
moved in last weekend, with a small number of White-throateds apparently
accompanying them. A White-throat came in with a Golden-crown flock on
Vashon Island Saturday (Gary Shugart), same day one appeared in my yard.
