As part of an August "big month" in our yard, I wandered around the
neighborhood beaver pond for any hour and half this morning.
Seven species of warblers and five flycatchers isn't bad for August 2nd. My
guess is that this is not terrible unusual, but in past years I haven't put
in this amount of effort this early in the fall. Both the highlighted
warblers are know to be early migrants and several other species were likely
on the move.
