The last few days have featured mainly good conditions for migration and I have found more and more migrants including my first American Pipits, White Throated Sparrow and Ruby crowned Kinglet of the fall (all today in various spots). I have concentrated mainly on warblers and although I have not found any new species for the month in the last few days I have run across multiple mixed flocks which featured a variety of species (including continued good numbers of Cape May Warblers, Bay breasted Warbler and Tennessee Warblers). The number of Red breasted Nuthatches continue to climb and we are certainly seeing an incursion of them. Beyond birds I ran across a fresh out of the nest juvenile Gray Squirrel today. It was totally unfazed by me and I do hope it is able to survive...they become a menace at times when adults but as young they are damn cute.
