End of September

 Just a few shots from late September ...

At least five very late Chimney Swifts

Is this really a Common Yellowthroat?

Philadelphia Vireo!

Palm Warbler

I took this to be a Pine Warbler, but the photo shows a Blackpoll.

After the storm

 I was curious about what tropical storm near miss Lee brought to Nahanton Park, so I spent a couple of hours there this morning. 37 spp, including the first of the year Indigo Bunting and 10 warbler species, including this beautiful Mourning Warbler -- 

September is a good month at NP

 A couple of hours this morning turned up 9 warbler species. Some photos - 

Between the showers

I spent a couple of hours this morning at Nahanton Park, joined for some of that time by Suzette. There were several little mixed flocks, including Nashville, B&W, Magnolia, Black-throated Green, Chestnut-sided Warblers, American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat. Modest variety was compensated by numbers - 6 AMRE, 5 COYE, 3 BTGW, 2 CSWA. ... There was also a Yellow-bellied Flycatcher in a small tree near the lower garden, and a Hermit Thrush in the woods. A House Wren was trapped in one of the garden plots with an illegal roof net. Here are a couple of photos. 

 

Early Fall Fallout

September 1 was still and sunny, after a northerly overnight breeze. I thought this might bring in some interesting birds. Here are a few photographs.
