September has started off great with the first two days of the month producing 17 species of warbler so far with the highlights including six Tennessee Warblers yesterday and another today (all 1st year individuals) and two Cape May Warblers (one 1st year bird yesterday and an adult male today).  It looks to be a good fall both of these above mentioned species.  The weather has been unseasonably cool which has certainly encouraged some migrants to move. This morning the temperature dipped down into the upper 30's which was a near record low and had me wearing gloves and a winter hat to start the day.  Tomorrow is forecast to be somewhat rainy and a bit cool but we should get a warm up for the first couple days of the week. Attached are a few lists from the last couple days with additional photos:
