The passing front last night didn't quite clear Cape May in time for a good flight, but did manage to delay the count (and wash my car!). I spent the first hour waiting out thunderstorms and heavy rain, and eventually the system let up enough to spare my spreadsheet from becoming unusable. The main three August warblers - Yellow Warbler, American Redstart, and Northern Waterthrush - again predominated, as expected, with little else flying. Small flocks of 5 or more Blue-gray Gnatcatchers sputtered into the headwind, providing most of the mid-morning entertainment. Highlights were few and far between but included a pair of Black Terns and a close flyby Blackburnian Warbler.
