On 9 of the last 10 days I have been able to spend at least an hour birding the area around our house, often starting at 7 am and often with help from Chris Rimmer, George Clark, and Ed Hack. In all I have seen (and ebirded) 694 individuals of 62 species on 11 checklists. No Brown Boobies or Red Knots, but plenty of warblers and other songbirds to keep things interesting, only one morning was I at all disappointed. No Cape-May Warblers, Philadelphia Vireos, or Yellow-bellied Flycatchers yet, all of which are almost annual here. Totals for the 18 species of warblers below.
Northern Waterthrush 1 (Less than annual here)
Black-and-white Warbler 7
Tennessee Warbler 8 (A spectrum from breeding plumage males to non-breeding/young. 20 in 2012. )
Nashville Warbler 8
Mourning Warbler 1
Common Yellowthroat 31
American Redstart 5
Northern Parula 3
Magnolia Warbler 10
Bay-breasted Warbler 7 (High count for a single fall, continuing a streak of at least one every fall since 2007!)
Blackburnian Warbler 20
Chestnut-sided Warbler 22
Black-throated Blue Warbler 4
Yellow-rumped Warbler 10 (Certainly more to come)
Black-throated Green Warbler 32
Canada Warbler 5
Wilson's Warbler 5
warbler sp. 18 (Flyovers or call notes)
Total 197 (Probably a small fraction of the warblers present)
Ah fall migration!
