While having a new furnace installed(whee.)I sat in the garden to relax and was surprised to see a number of female Black-throated Blue Warblers eating cherries from our tree. Then I paid more attention to the surrounding oaks and spotted at least four Wilson's Warblers and a few Cape May Warblers, new for our yard list. We followed those up with a fly over of a Double-crested Cormorant, a stretch, but we're counting that as a new yard bird as well. AND THEN...we had a Veery pop up and say hello on our fence...another new yard bird...AND THEN a Winter Wren sat in the shrubs on the side and sang to us...AND THEN a Red-breasted Nuthatch crawled down the oak and honked at me. A good day for yard birding... ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
