Morning Flight, 6 September 2015

I guess my prediction from yesterday of a "decent spectacle" held true.  We couldn't have asked for nicer conditions with 62 degrees F at dawn and excellently-lit, haze-free, sky all morning.  My cohorts, many of them camera sharpshooters were out in force this morning and taking advantage of this! The flight was light for a north wind day (134 warblers) and the diversity was surprisingly low but the looks were the best they've been all season.
