We had our first taste of fall like weather the last couple days with lows at night that dropped to around 50 for this morning following a night of north winds and highs that topped into the 70's with low humidity.  Tough to say for certain if any of the warblers I ran across the last couple mornings were truly migrants but there is certainly mixed flocks around today and I had a total of ten species.  A check of the camera at the water feature also turned up a few warblers (none new for the year but some good captures).
