Birds are pretty quiet at this end-of-summer season; many of them are still here, just not calling much, making them harder to find. Baltimore Oriole, Green Heron, Ruby-throated Hummingbird, and Eastern Kingbird were among the migrants we saw this morning. Blue Grosbeak and Eastern Wood Pewee are breeding birds at CHC and both provided good views today.
