The cricket is a small, black, ambulatory noise
surrounded by a sentimental aura. On occasion it lives in the open fields,
but its favorite habitat is behind a couch or under a bookcase in a room
where somebody is trying to read. ~Hal Borland

I'm not getting the numbers that Jim and others have reported, but observations have been at a relatively regular pace and all are heading South. Saw 11 between 7:00 and 7:50 PM yesterday.

We have a skunk that roams around our yard while we are watching for
nighthawks.

We have two pairs of Rubythroated hummers who visit the feeder regularly,
the males less than the females. I would characterize this as a normal level
activity for us, although it started about a month later than we're used to.

There is nowhere near the usual bird activity in the yard except for the
hummingbirds who are very busy fattening up for their migration.
One of them was sipping from the ant cup, something I hadn't seen before.
That was a good reminder to clean them as well when you replenish the
nectar.
A few times I've glimpsed a Blue-gray gnatcatcher in the trees out front.
The other day I was on my patio and got to see one darting in and out of
the quince shrub. They are sooo tiny. What a treat!
The Carolina wrens that nested in my hanging basket have fledged. It was
fun to have them right outside the front door.
When I cut grass, I'm sometimes followed by a Flycatcher. The mowing
stirs up insects. They often perch so close on a limb or garden wire that I
can almost touch them.
A young female Towhee has been coming to the birdbath. Still getting an
occasional Baltimore Oriole and some Robins.
With the increase in butterflies, moths and their cool caterpillars
things are never boring. Discoveries around every corner.

for 20 minutes but didn't see anymore.

We were surprised as well. We watched the birds for about 20 minutes. They
were circling, talon tagging and chasing each other in open sky with turkey
& black vultures, common ravens & an osprey for comparison. There are two
active nests within a mile and a half of this location. All six were in
view at the same time.
Earlier in the day, we saw another adult along New River about 10 miles
from this location.

Yesterday's bird activity in the backyard was pretty slow. Lots of young Titmice and the usual assortment of Chickadees, Gray Catbirds, Chipping sparrows and woodpeckers.
About 4:00 PM I decided to take my book out to the patio just in case something different showed up. I was happy to see the female Towhee but when a male Tanager landed in the pedestal bath I couldn't believe my luck. AND he brought his mate along. Managed to get some cell phone shots, good enough to record the event. Sure made my day.
