Don Carrier and Daryl Owens came to my place today to see if we could find
any early fall migrants heading south. We hit a bonanza with 47 species, 13
of which were warblers. I usually count fall migration at my place as
officially begun when I see the first Tennessee Warblers. I had 2 today, so
the fall migration has started, but it usually doesn't start with such a big
bang.
Attached are photos of several of the species we found today. These were all
taken in my yard or in my yard stream. Below is the complete species list
for the day.
