The last several days have featured very pleasant weather with cool mornings and warm afternoons with abundant sunshine.  The winds have also been mainly calm and a decent amount of birds have moved most nights, although many seem to be flying right past.  Nonetheless there are birds around every day and I have added a few species for the month with my total standing at 147 species, which is a bit behind a typical September for me.  My back has still been giving me problems on and off, which has kept me from driving as much but has kept me walking more.  The forecast for the next week seems to feature more of the same weather with just a slight chance of some showers during the period.  Still waiting for another big influx of birds...time will tell when (and if) this will happen.
