Hi Tweeters and OBOLers,

Throughout the night there were Swainson's Thushes flying over my Battle
Ground, Clark County yard. I estimated probably about 75 birds total. I
missed the critical 5am-5:45am time since I was sleeping. However, the
variety of birds in the yard certainly increased this morning:

Warbling Vireo 2 (first of "Fall")
Willow Flycatcher 1
Yellow Warbler 1
Orange-crowned Warbler 1(first of "Fall")
Black-throated Gray Warbler 1(first of "Fall")
Common Yellowthroat 1 (seems regular around the deck - probably not a
migrant)
Cedar Waxwing 35 (the flock is growing daily)
Black-headed Grosbeak 1 (I lost all the presumed local breeders several
weeks ago - no food makes grosbeaks head to greener pastures)
Evening Grosbeak 3
Purple Finch 4

The season is certainly changing and I particularly enjoyed the light rain
this morning.

Keep your eyes and ears skyward.

Jim
