Morning Flight - 12 September 2012


After nearly a week of good morning flights, today's flight belied that trend.  Warbler diversity was still relatively good (11 species), but overall numbers were dismal.  In particular, the paucity of redstarts was stark; in fact, for a good chunk of the morning, I wondered if I'd even be able to click a single one.
