Hello Tweets,

This evening at 5pm my mother and I encountered a small influx of migrant passerines in our yard during a rain shower. The main highlight was a fall plumaged female Nashville Warbler that was associating with a loose flock of up to 7 Yellow Warblers,as well as by itself in our front yard. This was our third record of Nashville Warbler for our yard,being our first fall record. Of additional interest up to 9 Black Swifts were noted flying from north to south over our yard,which was a much anticipated new yard species. A single Vaux's Swift and a Violet-green Swallow were briefly noted flying over our yard this morning,as they continued in an unknown direction. Other noteworthy sightings observed from our yard this evening included the following:

4 Band-tailed Pigeons
4 Anna's Hummingbirds
1 Downy Woodpecker
1 Brown Creeper
1 Orange-crowned Warbler


Good birding,

Ruth and Patrick Sullivan
