The backyard and back hillside were bustling this morning, with the following species (so far) being seen consuming the post-harvest grapes there:
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Pileated Woodpecker (looking odd perched in a sapling; I recently found out that Audubon painted them eating wild grapes, or posed that way, as his were actually dead)
Blue-headed Vireo (an incredible 6 there on 10/4 during a migrant wave)
Hermit Thrush
Robins (by far the biggest grape consumers)
Cardinal
The recently placed bird bath has also been attracting far more species than I thought it would, including a Blackpoll Warbler the other day. Blackpolls have been the most numerous migratory warbler here this fall, so far slightly edging out Yellow-rumped. Interestingly, I've seen zero Yellow Warblers around here in past weeks.
Lists, with some photos:
