Birded the backyard and fields this morning, in southeast Ashtabula County. Most notable was a Red-shouldered Hawk and a few American Restarts. The Carolina Wren that's been singing every day for the past 2 weeks was quiet all day-- perhaps because a House Wren was present? Last week the Carolina Wren was quiet/absent for half a day, and there was a migrant House Wren that morning as well. Lately we've had some brief visits by Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, all juveniles (on August 25, 30, and 31). Haven't seen them here since the adults came through in spring.
