After a brief warm up that resulted in a big migration night on Tuesday the 8th into Wednesday morning the weather then turned cooler again with heavy rain that turned to more occasional rain and wind out of the west. I got out a bit on Wednesday morning and had my first Louisiana Waterthrush of the year here as well as a decent influx of Palm Warblers. With work on Thursday and then rain most of Friday I didn't get much birding in. Saturday was quite cool with temps that topped out around 50 with strong winds but I did find some warblers before the wind got too strong. Sunday was a bit better with sunny conditions in the morning that quickly faded to clouds with some rain showers by midday. I started my morning along the rail trail in Ware before making my way back to Lake Wallace. The predominant warbler was once again Palm Warblers, with several showing well. Monday was a much better day with warmer temps that eventually made it well into the 60's. I started the foggy morning along the rail trail in Amherst before working back toward home, with an hour stop at Lake Wallace. I tried my best to find other new arrivals and possibly a rarity but had to be content with the four species expected to be in the area by this time.
