Another early Northern Parula among others this morning

I went out for a while this morning before running some errands to prepare for the arrival of Hurricane Henri and among my stops was a visit to Herman Covey WMA.  I came across a diverse mixed species flock that included an early Northern Parula (I managed a couple crappy photos with the phone through binoculars), a brief look at a Mourning Warbler and six other warbler species.  Fall migration is certainly underway despite it feeling like the tropics with high humidity and temps in the 80's.

The camera on the water feature captured a Pine Warbler coming and is hopefully just the beginning of stuff that will show up as fall migration ramps up.
