This morning started out very slow with nothing of note, but after about 30 
minutes of waiting, I finally picked up a few things. First off was a juvenile 
Pine Warbler, it had an all yellow breast and a gray head. At first I thought 
it was a Magnolia Warbler, but after seeing the undertail and observing its 
behavior, I concluded that it was a Pine Warbler. Second was a very surprising 
Worm-eating Warbler (possibly the same individual from a week ago??) that gave 
me awesome views at eye-level and I even got to see its unique under tail 
coverts! Repeatedly this morning I heard a Louisiana Waterthrush, they are 
becoming more scarce as the season goes on. A very exciting bird that I got was 
a first fall female Black-throated Green Warbler, it was great to see this bird 
as I haven't seen one here since spring.
I think this marks the beginning of fall migration at my house, so I will be 
birding any morning I have time to for a while!
Good Birding!
