As the third week of October comes to an end on a rather warm note the diversity of warblers continue to drop with mainly just Yellow rumped Warblers around with just a smattering of other species. The weather has been overall very pleasant with steadily warming temperatures with abundant sunshine with a near record high today in the mid 70's. The mornings have been quite cold but the sun has increasing resulted in warmer days. Between my time at work I have been out tracking down warblers in the hopes of finding late/lingering species and perhaps a rarity. I have caught up with a few late warblers including a Black throated Green Warbler on the 16th and a Nashville Warbler on 19th. I managed to track down eight species for the third week including my first Orange crowned Warbler of the fall.
Wilson had to have another surgery on Saturday to get a few masses removed and he continues to recover. We will have to wait and see if any of them are cancer...certainly hope not.
