Unexpectedly exciting morning in Colchester backyard yesterday. Thought at first we were seeing a drab fall goldfinch, but the rapid flitting through the branches, thankfully, prompted the grabbing of binoculars. Over about a 15 minute timespan saw 1 Tennessee Warbler, 2 Chestnut-sided Warbler, and male/female American Redstart. We’ve been inundated with Grackles, along with the usual crew of Black-capped Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, Carolina Wren, Northern Cardinal, many Downy Woodpecker, and Red-bellied WP. Pileated Woodpecker and Barred Owl occasionally calling from the woods. A few female RT Hummingbirds remain, too. Sharon & Roy Dellinger Colchester
