9-7-12 Mourning Warbler + 5 @ Warbler Woods

Thanks to all our visitors today!  I ended up with good numbers of warblers at 
the Scout Pond and Heron Pond early this morning--I pushed my start up to just 
before 7 a.m.  After doing the rounds, I joined the others at the Warbler Pond. 
 We ended up with Black-throated-green Warbler, Wilson's Warbler, Yellow 
Warbler, MOURNING WARBLER, Yellow-breasted Chat, Nashville Warbler, Long-billed 
Thrasher, Painted  Bunting, Summer Tanager and other fun birds.  We are looking 
forward to a cool front tomorrow and hopefully, we can decrease the temperature 
slightly to allow longer observation.  We continue having a nightjar, but have 
yet to ID.  Hope you don't miss songbird migration--every year, I have people 
venture out the end of September, expecting lots of warbler action.

RATS--Mourning Warbler is in the Beauty Berry flowerbed and I'm a good distance 
away and my big camera is outside!!  This is not fair--I rarely chase a bird 
out there, since I could land flat on my face, but a Mourning in the 
opening!!!!  So, I took my little camera, binoculars and went to the patio to 
take the perfect shot--bird still there in the open and my camera 
clicks--battery dead!!!!  So, I slink back inside and replace the battery and 
go back out, but no bird!  I give up and am leaving the window, so that I don't 
get distracted again!  I did get a picture earlier of the bird, but not great.  
Lot's of bird action outside, if you like 97 degrees and heat index of 96.5 
with 38% humidity.  

btw, Black Witch Moth around lately
