An early morning flight as well as small pockets of activity before this best activity died down after mid morning characterized the morning birding. Best among myself and a few others , and later Tom Stephenson's BBC group were BAY-BREASTED WARBLER, TENNESSEE WARBLER ,PRAIRIE WARBLER ,HOODED WARBLER , early YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER and ACADIAN FLYCATCHER among the insect eaters. But later, a MOURNING WARBLER (reported by Peter) made a quick appearance at the back edge Peninsula meadow, a young male with its typical gray hood , white eye arcs over yellow front. AMERICAN REDSTART takes the award for most ubiquitous of birds.
An evening report from Keir adds BLUE-WINGED , PALM & NASHVILLE WARBLERS to the diversity of warblers making the day's warbler tally
21 species warblers reported today, a quality day for an early fall date: a collective worthy effort by today's birders finding those extras....
Oh, I should mention that those flycatchers put on quite a presence. A very nice day for the empidonaxes and tyrants genus often overlooked by those dominant warblers...
There is still a way more fall birding to go in regards to peak movement. Enjoy it....

Hi Peter,
Great seeing you today. Next time, hang on to the MOUWAR....
Good group of about 13 people today.
We had a few good birds including several flycatchers sp, 16 species of warblers and some other stuff.
Best warblers were probably Tennessee pre Vale, fem Hooded on way out from Rick's place towards Nelly's lawn, and early Yellow-rump.
All buried by tons of American Redstarts.
Acadian, Least, Traill's sp, Pewee, Gr Crested, good for flycatchers...
Best regards,
Tom

From Keir:
hi Peter
Great day in PP (despite me missing HOWA and MOWA...) The fruiting tree inside the south end of the Vale Pool was still active mid afternoon and is worth checking.
cheers
