Tuesday brought a second day of solid movement at the dike. Clearly we are into the later part of fall but with enough remnants of the warmer months to keep the diversity high. While there were 19 species of warblers, today was the first day that Yellow-rumpeds absolutely dominated. There was an excellent raptor flight including a kettle of 32 Broad-wings that formed directly over the Dike. We also had a fantastic look at a Connecticut Warbler, perhaps the last of the season, and 9 Red-breasted Nuthatches.
