Still summer ...

The gardens are beautiful in the late summer, filled with flowers. A lot of the resident birds have up and left, but the catbirds and wrens are still hanging around (or have been replaced by look-alikes). The resident Song Sparrows have been augmented by migrants, and this morning I found several Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, three Redstarts, a Blue-winged Warbler, a Pine Warbler, and a Common Yellowthroat. The Meadowhawks and Eastern Pondhawks are still around, and today this big fellow showed up.
