Hi all --

One of those misty heavy mornings that usually don't prove very active, 
and as it turned out, a good prediction. Only the Blackflies were out in 
profusion(ouch!) However we did manage 6 species of warbler and a nice 
fresh HY YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER. Most of the activity was in the 
vines along the mini-train tracks and wood edge along the lake. The "mix" 
of migrants was very similar to the last few days and most are probably 
hold-overs. Maybe the hurricane will force a chance in the cast of 
characters! 

We ran by Brookside Gardens and checked all the snags and NO sign of 
th Olive-sided FC, seen there early this morning. However they do seem 
to disappear for long periods and there are a LOT of snags in this park!

Birds of interest:

Green Heron - 4
Ruby-throated Hummingbird - 4
YELLOW-BELLIED FLYCATCHER - 1 bright 1st autumn bird
Empid. sp - 1
Eastern Wood-pewee - 6  (one feeding a fledgling)

Lots of Goldfinches enjoying the seeding grasses near the train tracks.
