Yesterday, 9 August 2019, we observed about a dozen bird species at our
backyard feeders in Olympia, Washington. The most interesting birds were
two Wilson's Warblers and two Black-throated Gtay Warblers. All appeared to
be immature birds.

One Black-throated Gray perched on our garden sculpture's head, making for
an interesting photograph for my blog this morning:

.

The bird was attracted to our water feature, from which it repeatedly
drank. These warblers both breed in the area, but have not been seen in the
garden since last spring. Perhaps they represented the very beginning of
the fall migration.
