Morning Flight - 12 October 2012

Another relatively diverse warbler flight (10 species) featured a late American Redstart, Ovenbird, and Northern Waterthrush.  Otherwise, a large Pine Siskin flight - perhaps 1000 birds strong - was unfortunately southbound; in comparison, only a few dozen siskins were observed in northbound flight.
