 Savannah Sparrow. An exciting morning. You can almost feel the energy of all the combined migrating birds—or birds about to migrate. Heard the voice of a sapsucker. Watched little families of hummingbirds chase each other around the spruce grove. Spotted only my second Cape May warbler up there, too—along with a singing wood-pewee.
 Eastern Towhee. Nature, please grant me more days like this one.

 Cape May Warbler (in fall plumage). A calm, cool cloudless morning, yet another with evidence of fall migration. Warblers flitting silently in the trailside tangles, a Cooper’s hawk scouting the summit, waxwings young and old stocking up on flies. I saw six warbler species—one of them the first Cape May I’ve ever seen at Beech Hill.
 Cooper’s Hawk. We’ve had a dry, cool summer so far.

 Yellow-headed Blackbird.  Least Flycatcher.  Palm Warbler. The blackbird hangs around. I got a couple half-way decent photos. Also a Least Flycatcher and a Palm Warbler. (Many palms today.) Hated to have to leave—the snake I saw swimming across the Ice Pond kind of made up for the bittersweet return trip inshore.
