Seventeen birders joined Jane & Jerry Thornhill at their house on Saturday,
September 20, to celebrate fall migration. The weather was beautiful, but
the birds were not as cooperative as we had hoped. Nonetheless, there were
some good finds. A Yellow-bellied Flycatcher gave four birders an addition
to their lifelist and provided a time for lots of recollections as the bird
only made brief appearances periodically and it took more than an hour for
all to finally get a look. Two Bald Eagles, an immature and an adult, made
an appearance as did Red-tailed, Red-shouldered, Broad-winged, and Cooper's
Hawks. Tom Hunter spotted a Red-headed Woodpecker, a first to be observed
from the yard. At least 38 species were seen. The list is below. If you
have additions, please let me know.
