First, I have to say we’ve really been enjoying the “migration flight” postings by many observers.

And while I haven’t dedicated the time to specific watching, we are also noticing more migration signs. Last week we had at least three BH Grosbeaks on one day; and this past weekend, we had our FOS Western Tanager (young male) and FOS Phainopepla in the yard (midtown).

Happy Birding!
