Hi Jay/ all, It was a slightly better day for migrants at headquarters- but any early arriving wintering land birds, including the 3 Savannah Sparrow at Yates Yesterday, are possibly on the coast by now!? O-; I sure didn't find a single one that I was hoping for. I figured I might at least find House Wren, seeing that the birds had a good night to rest after N winds yesterday. However, I made up for that with the Golden-winged (hy male or ad f) and Brewster's (typical 1st generation with yellow smudge on whitish breast- prob ad male) together in the taller willows approx 150 yards W of the E end of the Chocolate trail- with a single adf/ hym Yellow Wa. Most of my scarce fall Golden-winged have been found at Stoner- and I'm thinking it was slightly earlier than this for most of those in past years? This will make my fourth or so record of Brewster's Warbler (including odd looking variant at Stoner) and 1st ever record for fall. All Spring Brewster's records except one at Wright Island were at Stoner. From memory, all Spring hybrid records had previously been found in the company of Blue-winged. Other good records this morning included 1 Ovenbird- in rough-leaf dogwood near W entrance to Chocolate trail and Magnolia Warbler - 2 at sep locations- one prob hy male on extreme E end of Chocolate and another identified to sp only on the central/ W portion of trail- also in willows. There were 11-13 Roseate Spoonbill and a small handful of shorebird spp which increased the day count slightly to 73 spp. Black Vulture and N Cardinal showed increases of 85 (BLVU on the dead fish and roost on back pond) and 42 respectively. There were 3 Painted Bunting and slight increase of Indigo, too. Other than that, things are still quite slow. I'll post the entire list later- just wanted to make sure to get the warbler sighting out there in case someone might want to try for them this afternoon. Good birding, Terry
