We are in the beginning to mid fall migration in Texas.  The Baltimore Oriole  passed through a week or so ago.  Yesterday and today gave us a show of Yellow Warblers at the water.  I find it a bit more difficult to identify some fall warblers. I am still trying to decide which warbler I saw a few days ago at the water feature.  The young Summer Tanager male also visited today. He is probably moving through also. We have enjoyed them this summer. I have not seen a female in several weeks.  We still have many Hummingbirds in the yard.  They have been fighting at the feeders. I am making about 5 cups of nectar and it is nearly gone in 4 days.  I believe most of the Hummers are Black-chinned females.  We have seen a male Ruby-throat in the last few days.

Baltimore Oriole

Our birds seen consistently are Lesser Goldfinch, Northern Cardinal, Black-crested Titmouse, White-wing Dove, Mourning Dove, Inca Dove, Woodhouse's Scrub Jay, Lark Sparrow, House Finch , Bewick's Wren, Carolina Wren, Carolina Chickadee, Eastern Phoebe and in the last few days we have enjoyed the Say's Phoebe. I have spent time watching the Say's catch bugs in the air, on the fly and on the ground. This is a very interesting bird and my first time to be able to observe it in the yard. I hope you are enjoying your fall migration in your area! Blessings.
