2015 Birding Journal Observations / July - August

Hot weather dominated July and August, and with more than enough flowering plants and insects around, the bird feeders saw the usual slowdown ahead of fall. Sometimes suet is just plain soggy in the heat, and it doesn't seem to be in demand like it is in the fall, but I still keep it out.

Summer tanager sightings were frequent this year

My observations of note include yellow-billed cuckoo on 7/11 and yellow-throated vireo on 8/22.

Other observations include cardinal, tufted titmouse, mockingbird, immature painted bunting, ruby-throated hummingbird, white-breasted nuthatch, bluebird, dove, blue jay, hairy woodpecker, female summer tanager, red-bellied woodpecker, Carolina wren, Carolina chickadee, Indigo bunting, towhee, dove, blue grosbeak, parula warbler and mockingbird.
