This was a day for photos but, since it was raining when we started, we didn't have our cameras! The 1st photo op presented itself when a singing Indigo Bunting was joined in a leafless tree by two Yellow Warblers and then a Great Egret - all in one scope-view. Later, male and female Common Yellow-throats perched atop cattail stalks, chattering away at us at eye level just a few feet away. With 16 Yellow Warblers seen today, and many more this past week, it's obvious that warbler migration is underway. Join us next Saturday for the first-of-season walk, Fall Migrants at the Rea Farm, as we look for other early fall warblers such as Northern Waterthrush and Mourning and Canada warblers. Leaders: Kathleen Horn and Deb Payson.
