I had a fall-out of Warblers and more (54 species) on Sept 30 and October 1
at my house.  My house is built on stilts and looks right into the trees
where they were finding bugs and I could take photos from my covered deck
while it rained. I could then edit photos at my computer with a cup of hot
chocolate at hand, look out the window and run out to the deck every time
another wave of birds arrived.

The biggest highlight was a Blackpoll Warbler (4 photos).  I'm surprised
that I have Cardinals and Goldfinch both feeding young.

I struggle with these Warblers so please make corrections as needed.  The
Summer Tanager appears to have a Tanager beak but the coloring is certainly
odd.
