Yellow-rumped Warbler
After a cloudy, drizzly day yesterday, a very light rain continued into the night. By morning the sky had cleared, and the sun rose in a blue and salmon sky. A Northern Mockingbird, Eastern Phoebe, Eastern Towhee, Tufted Titmouse and Carolina Wren all sang.
A little after nine, high white cirrus clouds swept across a clear blue sky, and the air felt cool and crisp – a gorgeous fall morning. A small bird flitted from one maple tree to another – still thick with green leaves – calling a sharp, dry chip! Our first-of-the-season Yellow-rumped Warbler.
