22 September: Our first White-throated Sparrow today.  The only other new arrivals in the past week have been Lincoln's Sparrow and Palm Warbler.

13 September: Yesterday a Connecticut Warbler was banded, and today we had our first Gray-cheeked Thrush and Purple Finch  On 11 September we had a late Baltimore Oriole.  The season's first Philadelphia Vireo was netted on 9 September.

6 September: Of  no importance were the 18 species of birds recorded in my yard in a couple hours of fading daylight and declining sobriety by birders wishing Dimas Pioli good luck as he prepares to return home to Brazil.  A Great Egret was a new yard bird for me!

5 September: Today we recorded 46 species, including the season's first Blackburnian Warbler.

3 September: New arrivals today were Nashville Warbler, Broad-winged Hawk (new early date), Bay-breasted Warbler, and Blackpoll Warbler.

2 September: Yesterday the first Mourning Warbler and Least Flycatcher of the year were present, although banding was slow due to an early Sharp-shinned Hawk keeping watch.  The Red-breasted Nuthatch, first seen 21 August, has found my yard to his liking, and is sticking around.  An early Orange-crowned Warbler spend the afternoon in my yard in Dearborn.
