A birdy morning.




This beautiful Broad-winged Hawk cooperated nicely this morning.

I had 54 species and 19 species of warblers showed up in my valley this morning.

Warblers:
C Yellowthroat
Magnolia
Redstart
Blackburnian
Bay-breasted
Tennesee
Wilson's
Black&White
Chestnut-sided
Cape May
Blue-Winged
Golden-winged
Blackpoll
Pine
Black-throated Green
Nashville
Ovenbird
N Waterthrush
N Parula

Also found the following species this morning:
White-throated Sparrow
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Wood, Gray-cheeked and Swainson's Thrushes
Scarlet Tanager
30 Canada Geese heading South
Blue-headed, Red-eyed, Yellow-throated and Philidelphia Vireos
E Towhee
Br Thrasher
Gr Blue Heron
1 Red-tailed and 1 Broad-winged Hawks


Isn't it a little early for WT Sparrow and RC Kinglet? I don't recall ever seeing these two and Scarlet Tanager at the same time.
It's a beautiful day here in RC although, the temp this morning was about 33 degrees which made for a chilly morning. Anyway, later today, I'm going out to find Orange-crowned and Yellow warblers. That'll make 21. Maybe I'll find a Canada too.
