Hi Tweeters,

Last night was a great night for listening to teh night flight over my yard
in Battle Ground, Clark County. From about 5:45am through 6:15am, about 75
SWAINSON'S THRUSH chirps per minute which calculates roughly to about 565
individual birds in that half hour period (assuming four audbile chirps per
bird). Other birds included several YELLOW WARBLERs, one apparent
BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, and some unidentifiables.

Yard biding has been fairly productive the last week. A flock of GREATER
WHITE-FROTED GEESE flew over on September 1st, several flocks of BAND-TAILED
PIGEONS on September 1st and 3rd, a surprise PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER
several days ago and my first ever RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH seen from the yard
- this one almost landed on the railing of the deck in the fog.

I look forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming WOS meeting.
Keep your ears and eyes skyward!
