Crazy weather; warbler bonanza continuesIt's the 8th consecutive day of heavy rain here. Some parts of the Atlanta area have been hit by severe flooding, leading CNN to re-christen it Wetlanta! The male Eastern Bluebird seemed happy to tough it out on the neighbour's roof. Just before this evening's big storm hit, the warbler flock came through the yard. Magnolia (photo too awful to post, even by my standards!) and this Yellow-throated took my total yard warbler list to 11 species.  The adult (non-breeding male or female?) Blackburnian Warbler came through again.  I think yesterday's Dendroica sp was probably just poor views of this male Pine Warbler.  Redstarts were up to three, including an adult male.  Single Chestnut-sided Warbler and Parula made it a 7-warbler day in the yard. The supporting cast included 3+ Red-eyed Vireos, 2 Brown-headed Nuthatch and the E Wood-Pewee seemingly flocking in with the chickadees, titmice and warblers. A vocal Northern Flicker was another irregular yard visitor.
