Unfortunately, due to other commitments we didn't cover the area too well in the past week but things are definitely coming to an end in regards to neotropical migrants. Our migrant list, with input from other birders, will be tabulated and given to the NPS. The following are from the ridge and maintenance yard only: Warblers: Black-throated Green (1), Magnolia (1), Nashville (2), Palm (2), Myrtle (2), Yellowthroat (4). Others: Ruby-crowned Kinglet (~30), Blue-headed Vireo (1), Phoebe (2), Swainson's Thrush (1), Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (2), White-throated Sparrow (~30), Chipping Sparrow (4), Winter Wren (1), House Wren (3).
