This morning was calm and clear and birdy. A 'new' bird of note was a greenish, short-tailed warbler with a white eyebrow, a small sharp bill, very faint yellowish wingbars and mottled yellow underneath -- the very model of a first fall TENNESSEE WARBLER.
The other birds of the morning were all species that have been seen in the last couple of days. In addition to the Tennessee, N. Parula, Blackpoll and quite a few Common Yellowthroats were seen. Other birds of note included the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (possibly the same bird seen yesterday) Eastern Phoebe, a couple of Marsh Wrens, Red-eyed and Blue-headed Vireos (one of which was actually singing). Brown Thrasher, Song and Swamp Sparrows and a few Royal Terns heading up the creek. Big flocks of Am Goldfinches and House Finches continued as did Flickers, Robins, Blue Jays and Chickadees.
