["Roger Mayhorn" <mayhorn@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
Yesterday, 9/3, the fall migration continued to make itself known here on the 
mountain by the numbers of migrants stopping by to feed, drink or bathe.
I counted 36 species with 13 being warblers. Yesterday I had a first. It was 
the first time I was able to photograph five warbler species in one photo. When 
was the last time you saw five warbler species at once in your binoculars?  
These birds were bathing together in the yard stream.
Photos can be found at http://upload.pbase.com/edit_gallery/mayhorn/migration_4
A list of some of those found can be seen below.

On 9/2 there were 105 Nighthawks flying overhead here. That is definitely the 
most I have seen here at one time. Even though I got "Nighthawk Neck" I managed 
to get some photos of them, which was pretty difficult, since they move at a 
good clip.
Some nighthawk photos can be seen at
