October has now come to an end and overall for the month I found a total of 17 species with many of the total occurring early in the month. By the end of the month the diversity was down to just a handful of species. Probably the biggest highlight for the month was the sighting of a very late Connecticut Warbler (presumed to be the same individual) on October 13th and October 15th. This beat my previous late date for the species by over a week. The month was overall warmer than normal and fairly dry with lots of good nights of migration which moved a lot of species along fairly quickly. The end of the month got much cooler and rainier. As always for October there were some species that lingered a bit but nothing too unusual. The numbers of both Tennessee Warblers and Nashville Warblers seemed a bit above average for the month.
