[Birdtalk] Backyard Migrants!

[Tim Avery]

This morning, a chorus of YELLOW WARBLER from the yard provoked me to head 
outside and see what else might be pitter pattering around.  It was a good 
idea to head outside!  There were 6 Yellow Warblers in the apple tree 
singing away like crazy.  Another one could be heard further down the 
street.  Add in the Orange-crowned and Yellow-rumped and thats a nice little 
mix for the yard.  Then throw in the male BULLOCK'S ORIOLE that dove into 
the tree, the BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER (new yard bird) skulking around, the 
pair of RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS flitting about, the small swarm of LAZULI 
BUNTINGS (only the second time for the yard), the flyover KILLDEER, and the 
best bird of all, a DUSKY FLYCATCHER, and that makes a pretty good mornign 
for a Sugarhouse backyard!

It will be interesting to see what the rest of the day brings.  Its nice to 
be able to see such a variety of birds at home!
