I can’t tell you how many Yellow-rumped Warblers were flitting around the hill this morning. Even if I’d felt like counting them there were too many to count. Scores, perhaps a hundred.
Other birds also—including a large flock of crows and four bluebirds flying over. Fall migration continues.
A fun time of year.
