Morning Flight - 24 August 2012

Conditions were similar to yesterday and resulted in another very light warbler flight.  Again, Bobolinks saved the day and kept overall numbers in triple-digits.  Red-breasted Nuthatch numbers continue to creep upward and today's count bumped the season total up to 22.  The highlight was a Warbling Vireo that was scoped on the treeline just prior to its departure.
