The wind was from the northwest for the most part, but it was very weak, barely a breeze. I had a nice sky for it, with enough clouds to help find birds, but they just did not materialize. Some days are like that. Still, it was nice to be up on the mountain and outside all day. And, it was a decent day for smaller birds &#8211; highlights included Pine Siskins, Purple Finches, a Red-breasted Nuthatch, Yellow-rumped Warblers, and a Hermit Thrush. As usual, I&#8217;m including my Hawkcount.org report at the bottom of this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/102426-YRWA.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/102426-YRWA-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/102426-YRWA-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/102426-YRWA-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/102426-YRWA-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/102426-YRWA-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/102426-YRWA-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/102426-YRWA.jpg 1243w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Yellow-rumped Warbler with a snack.
