Warbler Migration

Bay breasted warbler

 Went out with fellow bander Roger to see what warblers might be making their way south on migration.  2.5 hours of sitting - then one run made it all worthwhile!  Fall warbler plumage is much more muted and indistinct - no need to impress girls or anyone else.  Just need to blend in to survive predators as you move. Nice mix of hatch year and adult birds, too.
