We just had a very large flock come through our yard, feeding in the river birch for about a half hour - I’ll have to go through my photos, but certainly Yelliw-rumped Warblers, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Northern Parula, maybe other kinds as well. Last night around 6:15pm, we had a lone female Summer Tanager briefly stop in the yard.
This morning, temperatures were a chilly mid-40s F and it seemed the migrants didn’t come through until it had warmed a little.
Birdcast reported 5.3 million birds passed over Adair County last night.
Looks like a good day to check your favorite spots.
