	Hello All,
		I took off from work again :) to bird the second day of the cold front since yesterday was so good.  What a difference a day makes.  Today was still active, but it seemed to be a completely different mix of birds.  None of the nice birds from yesterday were seen and warbler were much fewer.  Warblers were 2 Blackburnians (1 male, 1 adult female), 1 adult Maggie, 1 female Black& White, 2 imm. Redstart, 2 Pine, 2 Yellowthroat.  Down from 11 species yesterday.  Other migrants included 2 Scarlet Tanager, 1 Yellow-billed Cuckoo and a White-eyed Vireo (with the House Wrens, bout the only holdover from the day before).  
		Instead, I had 2 Double-crested Cormorant fly over (first of year and cleanup of a miss from the spring), an immature female Cooper's Hawk, a female Harrier, 8 Wild Turkey (been scarce this year) and a flyover Solitary Sandpiper which alerted me to the Coop.  For statistics, I had new high counts of Brown Thrasher (6) and Pileated WP (5).
		No blackbirds or swallows either of the last two days.

Good Birding,
Glen Lovelace III
