Yesterday afternoon I was checking for cool bugs in my lantana when I saw a flash of yellow. So glad I had my camera with me. It's Fall warbler migration season & she was in my crepe myrtles. Happy to see her, I have not seen a yellow warbler in my yard since 2013. I'd like to say she was singing but it was 4:30 in the afternoon & 109 degrees here at the time, she was panting to cool off. My babbling fountains probably attracted her.

Monarch butterfly migration through Oklahoma City, September 28, 2018. The monarchs had spent the day feeding on butterfly bushes, native sunflowers, and other flowers that they could find.
This is Wilson's Warbler. We know that because he wears a black "beanie" on his head. Warblers and other songbirds are just starting their fall migration, so we will get another look at a lot of birds...but, that means they'll all be gone soon, until next Spring.

Fall migration is peaking. The number of birds in the air tonight is mind boggling. A good time to be outside.
Bird migration forecast maps show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours. Colorado State University and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology currently produce these forecasts.

A very shy bird to approach, and not a species seen every year. Fortunately, I have seen 6 of these in two days! Gotta love Fall migration.
Sandhill Crane migration. Heading south for the winter. I stood outside for awhile hoping to see them. I could hear them just past the trees.
Streaking across the sky, a small flock of Canada geese head south. The tall poplars are almost leafless, while the maples (centre) and oak, hold on to theirs.
The first few monarchs are starting to show up as the fall migration is barely starting. I found this one resting in the tall grass along the creek bank.

I really can't stand it when you wait for four hours and the warblers are used to you so they get like 3 feet from you and then some one comes up and asks what your shooting at. Then its at least an hour till the warblers really come close again. That happened three times today. Oh well.

'Vermivora chrysoptera'
Only the second time I've seen these beauties, so it was nice to have one in our backyard! Migration is heating up fast ....I saw American redstart, ovenbird, black-and-white,magnolia, chestnut-sided, & Tennessee, as well as this golden-winged warbler today, and a yellow-throated vireo!!!
Whites Creek, Davidson Co., Tn., USA
Fall migration runs from approximately 1 August to 30 November (though some species migrate earlier and later than this window) in the contiguous U.S. So we are well into fall migration. The cloudy, rainy weather in Oklahoma will put a damper on night navigation for the coming week, but when the sun comes out, and the nights are clear with a north breeze, be ready. Check Cornell Lab's Birdcast.info for daily migration forecasts.
