Morning Flight Thursday September 10 2009

Wow, just a bit windy this morning. Surprisingly there were warblers flying in between and sometimes amid the 40 MPH gusts. I spent a large part of the morning looking at warbler specks through the excellent Zeiss scope out on the distant treeline. Lots of raptors was also a surprise; the Ospreys just kept coming. Add 204 unidentified warblers to the total.
