Slightly improved migration conditions overnight brought in some more warblers but still not the big numbers or diversity. It was yet another cold start but the sunny conditions and lack of wind initially made it bearable. I spent the entire morning covering a variety of different locations before heading home late in the morning. The entire afternoon featured on and off rain showers with a few sunny breaks as yet another cold front moved through. The yard was productive with 13 species of warblers around. Overall for the day I found a total of 19 species of warblers including my first Wilson's Warbler of the season (I also had one hybrid warbler)....I'm sure with a little more effort (like a trip up the mountain at Skinner SP) could have added at least a couple more.

The water feature continues to capture some warblers including three species in one day yesterday including my first male Black throated Blue Warbler (which continued to visit throughout the day today).
