I finished the third week of October with an after work visit to Arcadia and then over to the East Meadows.  Warbler diversity and numbers continue to drop as many birds have already moved through with lots of good nights for migration.  It is now down to just a handful of expected warbler species but the chance of turning up some lingering species and the remote chance of a rarity keeps me looking.  During the morning I turned up just three species of warbler with two Common Yellowthroats being the only late species (just slightly late at this point).  I also found Palm Warblers and Yellow rumped Warblers.
