  1. Since there were bird moving last night and I heard 20+ calls in just a couple min. before sunrise this am, decided to get out. And glad I did.

    Not huge numbers but enough to keep me interested for the hour I had to be out. A Blue-winged Warbler at the trail head was great great way to start the walk.

  2. Barnes this morning 9 warbler species. Eastern Wood-Pewee and Traill’s Flycatcher rounded things out. No sign of the Philly; may have left last night along with most of the other birds.

  3. Fall birding is still slow here on the west coast but a few birds showed up here in the Mangrove Bay Neighborhood on NE St. Pete during an hour walk this morning. I had my first thrush of fall a Wood Thrush, and four species of warblers including 6 Yellow and 1 each Tennessee, Yellow-throated and Black-and-White. Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers numbered at least a dozen.

  4. Congratulations — the website is going great! I’ve been traveling a lot and it’s nice to follow what’s going on in FL.

  5. Nice to see the responses from all over the state. Today the ladies at Cape Florida only banded 8 birds, but one was a Hooded warbler. FOS Swainson’s thrush seen, too. Yesterday’s captures were so fat I’m not surprised they took off last night.
    NWS is starting to tease us about a possible front coming next week.
