After several days of anticipation for warblers and vireos (and having only ruby-crowned kinglets and blue-gray gnatcatchers), we finally had a good showing this morning. In our backyard (near route 23 close to the Franklin/Delaware county border), we had the following - and many concurrently: 5~6 black-throated green warblers 3 yellow warblers 2 blue-headed vireos pair of BALTIMORE ORIOLES pair of ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAKS 1 northern mockingbird In addition to the usual suspects of sparrows, woodpeckers, cardinals, starlings, mourning doves, and robins. Quite a productive morning with the cup of coffee.
