Greetings Cameron and all:
I am actually watching them drop out of the sky and land in TTU HSC
liveoaks from my fifth floor window. Looks to be all spizellids - can't
help but wonder if there aren't a few warblers in the mix, though? If this
is a harbinger of late movement, I just might be able to get out and do a
little damage this weekend.
