A quiet morning, with few migrants in evidence. Due to the continued southerly airflow over the eastern U. S., perhaps? The surprise of the morning was a male Hooded Warbler, in precisely the same spot as I saw one on August 30. Can it be the same bird? Aren't they supposed to be migrating? Or have conditions for migration been that poor its decided to hang around the stormwater ponds for the last nine days?! Photo coming later.
