West-southwest winds continue here in Cape May, and while there are still birds moving through, there are considerably fewer “in the system” at the moment. Thankfully, another front is forecasted to come through on Monday afternoon and go overnight into Tuesday! This bodes well for a good late-season flight.
Today, I was content to count a few hundred American Robin and Yellow-rumped Warblers (311 and 369, respectively). Another 25 Blackpoll Warblers were a good addition to the ever-growing new season record, which is now over 3,700 northbound individuals! 8 Dark-eyed Juncos were nice too, which are a favorite of mine to see in Morning Flight (we had 91 on Thursday’s big flight, but there was too much else to discuss!).
As always, you can find our official count totals on Trektellen here, and our complete eBird checklist of the day’s observations here.
Bring on the next day!
