If you have tomorrow off you may want to bird a riparian habitat along the river. I was out on Bachelor Island walking a route for the upcoming WOS Convention and stumbled onto what looked like the best day for migrants I have experienced there this fall. I could not bird much but as I walked the trail with another trip leader I saw the following highlights. I was there about 1/2 hour.



black-throated gray warbler 4

yellow warbler 2

orange-crowned warbler 10

warbling vireo 2

Swainson's thrush 8

horned grebe 1 river

white-crowned sparrow 8

golden-crowned sparrow 1

Lincoln's sparrow 1

willow flycatcher 2

least flycatcher 1



Not bad wished I could have spent more time but had a conference call to get to. Oh the agony!
