Ridge active only very early, then best action at maintenance yard and around the stable area. Also, a note that yesterday (while we were at a dog show) despite the slow action, a Golden-winged Warbler was seen at the ridge by several folks. As far as we know, first one of the autumn. Anyway, today: Warblers: Black-throated Blue (2), Black-throated Green (5), Blackburnian (1), Blackpoll (2), Magnolia (6), Palm (4), Parula (1), Redstart (5), Tennessee (1-2), Yellowthroat (10). Others: Blue-headed Vireo (2), Red-eyed Vireo (10), Scarlet Tanager (10), Rose-breasted Grosbeak (3), Ruby-crowned Kinglet (2), Brown Thrasher (6), Winter Wren (1), House Wren (~10), Indigo Bunting (3), Swamp Sparrow (1), Chipping Sparrow (1), Swainson's Thrush (2), Wood-pewee (2), Phoebe (8).
