Migrant warbler have not been quite as numerous the past few days. Today,
especially, birds were pretty hard to come by. Though there was a nice variety.
Winds yesterday and today were not a factor as winds yesterday were still
light in the morning and today winds didn't really pick up until mid-morning
and many areas along the river were protected from the southerly winds. Once
again select counts are below.
