Quite an extraordinary sight just now- had a female blackburnian warbler hovering in front of my ground floor home office window, literally four feet in front of my face. She came back to look around several times- perhaps wanted to pick some cobwebs from the window panes and house siding to use in nest building is my best guess of her intentions. Certainly not a bird I expect to ever see at such close quarters- her mate has been singing constantly around our yard but usually from tall white pines and red maples so just getting a glimpse of him requires some work. Had never seen the female before. 

A pair of rose breasted grosbeak have been nest building off of our driveway. 

Beyond the yard here off of Cilley Hill Rd in Underhill, the wider neighborhood featured all the usual summer residents on a walk through field and forest this morning. The warbler count comprised: 

Ovenbird- dense and numerous as always
Redstart- nearly all first year males spread across a variety of habitat
Black throated blue- at least half a dozen male singing on territory this a.m.
Black throated green (1-2)
Mourning warbler- one singing near usual territory
2 Canada warblers- one female one male in different areas
Yellow warbler (1)
Common yellowthroat (many)
Chestnut-sided warbler (2)

Other highlights were at least 3 male bobolinks displaying and chasing each other around hay fields, and a flushed broad winged hawk. 

One doesn't have to go far from home to see a lot of good birds and behavior at this time of year.
