I have started my fall migration banding at Greenway Farms in Hamilton County, and despite the heat (I am only able to open the nets from about 7:00 am until 9:30 am) I have picked up a couple of interesting migrants already. August 17: 2 Hooded Warblers, 1 Yellow-throated Vireo, 1 White-eyed = Vireo, 1 Blue-grey Gnatcatcher August 21: 1 Blue-winged Warbler August 23: 1 Worm-eating Warbler, 1 Yellow-breasted Chat, 1 CONNECTICUT WARBLER There have also been lots of hummingbirds around A cold front is expected to move through late next week, so that should bring a lot of birds in.
