For most of the day, we watched migrating birds trickle through our yard in the Lakeshore area of Tallahassee. Most of them stopped at our bird baths and mister dish to drink and bathe. Highlights were one Kentucky Warbler, four Hooded Warblers (1 male, 3 females), an American Redstart, two Veeries, and a female Baltimore Oriole. Summer residents were also conspicuous and included North Parula, Red-eyed Vireo, White-eyed Vireo, Acadian Flycatcher, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, and Summer Tanager (one male, two females). Overall bird activity dropped noticeably around 4:00 PM when the wind shifted to the east, although titmice, chickadees, and abundant cardinals continued to visit the feeders. Yesterday afternoon, a Blue-winged Warbler stopped by to bathe.
