Morning Flight, 5 September 2015

A nice "little-big" flight occurred today on northeast winds, following a very sloooow past three days. If you tried to follow with the flight on: https://raptor.specteo.com/cape-may-bird-observatory/morning-flight/ then we apologize that something was malfunctioning with the real-time updates, but we should have it back online tomorrow, and just in time for what I hope and predict should be a decent spectacle, like it was today.

The big highlight for us was a really close zing-by of a Yellow-throated Warbler!
