Morning Flight - 4 October 2012

The diversity in today's flight was great, even if the numbers were not.  However, the warbler flight was very light, although it did contain 56 individuals of 9 species.  The highlight of the morning was an indecisive, juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker which made multiple passes before settling into the woods at Higbee.  A procession of Red-bellied Woodpeckers was also intriguing, if not frustrating to count, as they vascillated between Cape Island and destinations north.
