a 13 warbler spp morning.

13 species of warblers graced my woods this morning including a very nice L Waterthrush.
They were:
CSWA (about a hundred or so)
Maggie
Redstart
Blackburnian
BAYBWA
L Waterthrush
Ovenbird
CYET
BWWA
GWWA
NAWA
ConnWA
WIWA (this one took some doing to pick out)

Also had a Brown Thrasher, Swainson's Thrush, a Gnatcatcher and a Kingfisher. Somehow, I missed Black&white warbler. There must have been at least one. Just, where?
Anyway, the grand total was 38 species in 3 hours. (0630-0930)

Warbler Migration is certainly picking up. Over the next few weeks, I should be able to add several more species to the fall list. I hope I get at least one 20+ warbler day!!
Happy Birding!
