Had such a good birding morning (on my front lawn!?) that I dunno what half of the birds even ARE. But I did see a first: a rose-breasted grosbeak!

TWEET COMPLETE, THANKS FOR YOUR ENDURING PATIENCE
Here’s the kind of whoadang birding day — this morning I went out for an hour into my yard and maybe five or six species I’d never seen before. Went back out just now for five minutes, saw a black-throated blue warbler AND a red-breasted nuthatch.
Here is a thread of the birds I’ve seen in just the last 24 hours:

Black-and-white warbler —
The black-throated blue warbler and a great crested flycatcher —
A veery (?), rose-breasted grosbeak, ruby-frowned kinglet, magnolia warbler
American redstart and a black-throated green warbler
Yellow-rumped warbler and a Northern parula —
A, uhhh, mmm? I thiiiiink this is a chestnut-sided warbler but hey sometimes these are the birding breaks, folks.
Blue-headed vireo, red-breasted nuthatch, and a... uhhh, least flycatcher? Not sure. But nobody puts least flycatcher in the corner.
Common yellowthroat, goldfinch, a...
cowbird, I think, and a @premeesaurus.
ooh forgot some — saw an... Ovenbird? And a yellow warbler!
I think that’s ten lifelist birds in one day. All in my yard??
