["Smith, Adam \(FW\)" <Adam.Smith@xxxxxx>]

Quite a spectacular display ongoing at KDFWR Headquarters in Frankfort.
A huge single-species flock of Cape May Warblers is gorging itself (with
the occasional break for fighting and displaying) on hoards of small
invertebrates occupying a large Norway Spruce on the south wall of the
Fisheries Annex.  There is no way to get a real grip on the numbers, but
there is no less than 30 Cape Mays present (and perhaps many more)...
 
There seems to be no shortage of invertebrates in the tree, so I'd
expect some to hang around for a few days.  Certainly the easiest Cape
May viewing I've ever experienced...
 
Cheers,
