16 October 2011 - Morning Flight

With strong west winds laying down the phragmites at Higbee Beach this morning, the songbird flight was sparse, low, and fast. About 100 Yellow-rumped Warblers and 25 Blackpoll Warblers flew out, along with smaller numbers of other species. Species highlights included Rusty Blackbird, Dickcissel, and Ovenbird (getting late).

Eastern Meadowlarks can be seen at Higbee now pretty much every day in small numbers.
