A Confusion of Fall Warblers V

Philadelphia Vireo Vireo philadelphicus

Painted Lady Vanessa cardui

  Spent almost three hours in the cemeteries today with Dan, successfully getting him onto his first Northern Parula. It was interesting to see some turnover, when compared with yesterday.  Today, a lack of Red-eyed Vireos, a seeming dip in warbler numbers and variety, and much quieter in the NDN Cemetery, with almost no bird activity in parts that were heaving yesterday.
  Also, a noticeable uptick and/or appearance today in locally partial migrants (like Brown Creeper, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and Blue Jay) and boreal breeders (White-throated Sparrow and Swainson’s Thrush) in the north of the cemetery.
