Sunday (9/9/2018) morning, I looked out our kitchen window towards the watercourse and spied what I thought was an Orange-crowned warbler. I grabbed my camera and sneaked into the yard and the bird, which had actually been a Yellow warbler, returned. Over the next hour or so our yard filled with birds, including at least 30 House sparrows that are living in the neighborhood and I obtained many ‘better than most’ photos. So here were some of our visitors which don’t include a male Wilson’s warbler that I wasn’t able to photograph.
The Yellow warbler…
The Orange-crowned warbler…
A Brown creeper…
A male Spotted towhee…
A Pine siskin with an unusually large patch of yellow…
A Chestnut-sided chickadee…
A Black-capped chickadee…
A male Anna’s hummingbird…
And a Red-breasted nuthatch…
And I want to mention a special visitor that we had on 9/6/2018… a Warbling vireo, our second visit during this fall migration…
