Hi, all!
This morning 17 people joined me for the annual mid September outing to Little Indian Creek WMA in search of fall migrants. Once again, we had success in finding a Connecticut Warbler which is impressive given the number of consecutive years we have run this trip and lucked into at least one of these elusive warblers. We also encountered 13 other warbler species on our walk. Cooperative Yellow-billed Cuckoo and Broad-winged Hawk were nice additions as well. Somewhat surprising given the huge movement overnight was the lack of Catharus thrushes, but I guess you can't win them all. eBird list is here for those interested: https://ebird.org/checklist/S394414491?subID=S394414491.
If you were on the trip and would like the eBird shared with you (and I haven't already done so), please reach out. Keep an eye out for future Mountaineer Audubon field trips as posted on our website and/or Facebook page. Hope you all enjoy your fall migration, and I look forward to seeing you out in the field soon.
