Eastern Europe

On Monday I'm leaving for Eastern Europe and, except for a couple of short reports this weekend, I will probably not be filing anything until I get back in the second week of September.

This morning was a continuation of the situation of the past couple of days: a few migrants, a few late-summer birds and otherwise quiet. The migrants include some warblers (American Redstart and Prairie Warbler seen this morning along with Yellow and Common Yellowthroat). Small numbers of N Flickers have appeared (unlike most of the night-flying passerines, the Flickers move during the day and also make a lot of noise) along with American Robins (which fly at night but move well into the daytime). House Wrens are still here and remain active along with Green and Great Blue Herons, Snowy Egrets, Belted Kingfishers, Royal Terns and Osprey.
