Numbers were very low this year compared to previous years. (My yard, Fort Morgan).It was very disappointing.

At my usual birding site in Daphne, I had one good migrant warbler day and a smattering of birds, or less, other days. It was one of the lowest migrant falls I can recall. And trips to Dauphin Island and Fort Morgan were, for the most part, unusually lacking in migrants, too.

Hi All,
Now that Fall warbler migration has wound down, I'd like to hear what other birders across the state think about warbler numbers this Fall. For me, warbler numbers in the Tennessee Valley seemed to be way down. I just didn't encounter the good-sized flocks of Magnolia, Tennessee, American Redstarts, etc. that I am used to seeing. Talking with other Tennessee Valley birders, they feel the same way. For one thing, I thought the weather patterns were a little unusual this Fall, especially September.
What are your thoughts? Was it an average Fall for you, or did warbler numbers seem to be low?
