We were treated to another excellent flight with great diversity. Waxwings basically took over the place. We had a few first for the Dike this season, Great Cormorant, Eastern Phoebe, Golden-crowned Kinglet, and a surprise Hooded Warbler. We had two incredibly cooperative Connecticut Warblers or at least as cooperative as could be expected from flying Connecticut Warblers. Warbler diversity matched the season high with 24 species, though the totals individuals were only 784 including 208 unidentified warblers.
