Howdy All!
It's sure good to read everyone ELSE's fall rpts. My backyard in
southern Calvert County is certainly NOT currently a migration
hub. Am I just spoiled from traveling, or is this list really
pretty pathetic?
Backyard 9/28/98, Monday evening:
200 Laughing Gull
12 Ring-billed Gull
1 Red-shouldered Hawk (resident)
8 Eastern Bluebird
1 Carolina Wren
1 Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle)
1 Northern Flicker (Yellow-shafted)
1 Blue Jay
Backyard 9/29/98, Tuesday morning:
6 Laughing Gull
1 Fish Crow
1 Gray Catbird
1 Eastern Bluebird
1 Carolina Chickadee
2 White-throated Sparrow (ARRIVAL-yippee! A new migrant!)
I did count 14 Cloudless Sulphurs in the front yard at one time
on Sunday afternoon...
