After a lull for the peak of the summer I put the camera back up on the water feature and captured a couple warblers yesterday with an American Redstart and a Chestnut sided Warbler.  I have not heard or seen either species here for multiple weeks so likely some post breeding dispersals.  Looking forward to see what else turns up as the fall migration starts to pick up.

Hot on the heels of an early Tennessee Warbler and Northern Parula on Monday I stopped by the Silvio Conte NWR-Fort River this morning and picked up another Northern Parula (I did not find the pair of Tennessee Warblers and a Lawrence's Warbler that Ted had at the location yesterday).  The only other warblers I found at Conte was a single American Redstart and a few Common Yellowthroats.
