Morning Flight, 6-10 October 2015

As we get further into October we are seeing more consistent flights with larger numbers but lower species diversity.  But the Higbee dike is really still cooking!  Yellow-rumped warblers are way up this week and we've probably already seen the peak of Palm Warbler.  Blackpoll Warbler peaked today with a marvelous low-altitude flight of 692.
