Female Yellow Warbler

Eastern Wood-Pewee

Northern Waterthrush

The Fall migration is starting to get interesting. If this year is like the last two, we should be getting a black and white warbler in our yard this week.

Frequent visitors to the site know that Chris greatly appreciates it when birds visit her plants. The ovenbird is one of the first fall migrants to stop by. We also had a black-throated green warbler today, but no clear photos.

I have been seeing Common Nighthawks in swarms over an open field by me in Denville, NJ.  They start to come out at about 5:30 pm and I see about 30 of them or so flying back and forth over the field eating insects.

We've been putting peanuts out recently. The Tufted Titmouse love peanuts.
