Tuesday 8-5-2003 I have always found interesting how early passerine migration begins. It is impossible to determine this in an area as large as Mammoth Cave NP etc, but very easy in a small isolated woodland like Lost River Cave Valley in the middle of humanity. I observed the following species of warblers not known to nest in the valley this morning: Blue-winged Warbler (1) first fall Yellow Warbler (1) adult male Prairie Warbler (2) first fall females Black-and-White Warbler (3) fall adult male, first fall male, and first fall female Worm-eating Warbler (1) Kentucky Warbler (3) Jackie B.
