November started off with low clouds and drizzle and occasional light rain but I nonetheless had some decent luck turning up some warblers to start out the month. After I got out of work I headed east to Silvio Conte NWR-Fort River where I fairly quickly turned up a late Common Yellowthroat in the same general area I have had one for the last several days. At least it showed a little better today compared to my previous run ins with this particular individual and I was able to get a few photos. I then walked to a nearby area and had at least two Palm Warblers plus several Yellow rumped Warblers. I then headed over to Hickory Ridge and had more Yellow rumped Warblers in a couple different spots. By a bit after nine the rain picked up a bit and I headed for home. Given the rainy weather conditions I was quite happy to find three species of warbler this morning. The next week or so looks to feature above normal temperatures and multiple days of sunny weather so hopefully I will be able to find some other lingering warbler species. It will be tough to beat my best November ever in the county back in 2020 when I had eight species but I will try.
