This morning we stopped quickly at Ledyard, in faint hope of finding 
Hurricane birds (well, Hanna did come right up the coast, however 
quickly). No luck on that score, but the warbler show was nice on the 
Montshire end of the RR causeway. With very limited, pre-breakfast time 
we missed many of the birds buried in the thick bushes on the east side 
of the tracks, but saw the following highlights. (The Cape May brought 
our local warbler total for the week to 19):
  Nashville Warbler 1
  Northern Parula 3
*  Cape May Warbler 1*
  Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) 15
  Blackpoll Warbler 1
  Common Yellowthroat 1

Highlights at our house yesterday:
  Yellow-bellied Flycatcher 1
  Tennessee Warbler 1
  Nashville Warbler 5
  Northern Parula 1
  Chestnut-sided Warbler 3
  Magnolia Warbler 2
  Black-throated Blue Warbler 1
  Yellow-rumped Warbler (Myrtle) 3
  Black-throated Green Warbler 5
  Blackburnian Warbler 3
  Pine Warbler 1
*  Bay-breasted Warbler 2*
  Blackpoll Warbler 1
  Black-and-white Warbler 1
  Common Yellowthroat 1
