This is a great day (week) to get out and see warblers on the move. 
Some have not yet reached their so-called 'confusing fall' plumage, and 
can even be identified by half-birders like me.

With a Tennessee and Pine just now, Spencer has seen 17 species here today.

-------- Original Message --------

A nice variety of migrants and others observed this morning at our
house and across the road, including 2 yellow-bellied flycatchers and 2
Wilson's warblers. A male ruby-throated hummingbird passed through early
this morning, first one seen in ~5 days.

A Yellow Warbler (adult female) was our 20th species of warbler this
month, and one of 15 today!

Partial list below from Fire District land on Tucker Hill.
