Another wet one. Rain early, fog and overcast. And another day—third day?—of migrating birds flitting through the wooded canopy.
Many were warblers: redstart, yellow, black-and-white, yellowthroat. Most were quiet and required an eagle eye to ID. Only one posed for a photo, a Chestnut-sided Warbler.
More rain and sun to come—and the remnants of a hurricane this weekend.
