Hi Tweeters,

Last night and into this morning, there was a good movement of nocturnal
migrants flying south over my yard in Battle Ground, Clark County:

Solitary Sandpiper 1 (at about 6:15 this morning - rather late in the
season)
Varied Thrush - several
Swainson's Thrush - several
many sparrows
Dark-eyed Juncos

two calls hat I couldn't even place to family.

Daylight unfortunately brought rain. However, once that was over, I
recorded the following:

American Robin - 100s
Yellow-rumped Warbler - 75+
Varied Thrush - 3
Purple Finch - 18
American Pipit - 14
Cedar Waxwing - 61

A flock of 14 Northern Pintail was a surprise and a new year yard bird
(#112). Yesterday, two Doublec-rested Cormorants flew over (#111).
Yesterday also brought a small raptor flight which included a Red-tailed
Hawk, two Cooper's Hawks and one Sharp-shin.
Keep your eyes and ears skyward.

Jim
