The fall warbler show seems to be in full swing. A quick outing this 
morning revealed 10 species, and yesterday we watched a flying-insect 
feeding frenzy (both near our house). Yesterday's highlights included a 
Bay-breasted and a Tennessee, with the latter spp. also here this 
morning. Also 3 vireo species yesterday.

e-Bird list follows.
