Spent the first part of the morning back on Prescott Peninsula checking the various fields once again. A somewhat cool start at 53 warmed up fairly quickly by mid morning and eventually reached the 80's.  The early morning fog also burned off after a couple of hours and the sun stayed out the rest of the day. I spent a few hours on the peninsula checking several fields. More and more birds have stopped singing as breeding season begins to comes to an end. Yet again lots of juvenile birds around with a few areas quite active with various species and other areas quiet. No crossbills today but I certainly kept an ear out for them.

An update on the tropics shows that Tropical Storm Dorian continues to move toward the west but also continues to weaken and will likely become just a tropical depression soon. Although there was some slight potential for this storm there were just too many meteorological cards stacked against it to develop into something of consequence.
