This morning was a nice change from what had been a very slow warbler migration around here. I spent most of the morning at Arcadia arriving before dawn to calm, cold conditions with scattered frost. As expected activity picked up as soon as the sun started warming things up and I had many pockets of birds throughout the hedgerows and fields of the meadows. The diversity was the best I have had all fall so far with three new species for this fall migration season for me. Among the 19 species of warblers were many highlights including a brief glimpse at an immature Connecticut Warbler that popped into view briefly and then was never seen again, a dozen plus Tennessee Warblers (almost all immatures..a good fall for the species so far), three Cape May Warblers, my first Bay breasted Warbler of the fall, at least four Yellow Warblers (getting late for the species), both subspecies of Palm Warblers and the first morning of double digit counts of Yellow rumped Warbler and last but not least my first of the fall Wilson's Warbler (no fall is complete without seeing a Wilson's!)
