Another spectacular morning of watching the ongoing migration with highlights so numerous that I will once again include the whole list for the morning.  Ian, Keenan and I certainly had a good time sorting through all the warblers, vireos and others.  I'm sure this will be one of the last days of such diversity as we go past the third full week of September and the next several days feature great migration conditions.

Later in the morning I took a walk with Wilson along Jabish Canal where we ran across a migrant groups with several species but nothing too unusual but we did add another warbler species that was missed on Orchard Hill, a Palm Warbler, bringing the day total for warblers to eighteen.  We also had a Ruby throated Hummingbird come roaring past heading south.
