The second week of September has come to a close and the weather continues to be very pleasant with cool nights in the 50's and mainly sunny days with highs in the 70's...perfect September weather.  It has also been mostly good migration conditions and the birds are rapidly moving through.  During the second week of the month I added three new warbler species with Blue winged Warbler, my first Connecticut Warbler on the 12th and Palm Warblers yesterday.  I now stand at 24 species so far for the month.  Some areas have been quite slow that are usually quite active (especially Silvio Conte NWR-Fort River) but thankfully other areas closer to home have been much more active.  The next week looks to feature much of the same for weather and I suspect lots more birds will be moving past.
