Today my wife Lynda and I hosted our annual Warbler Day event here at our
house on Compton Mountain. Twenty birders came to enjoy the fall migration.
We had a good day with 61 species counted including 15 warbler species. A
Wilson's Warbler was the most unexpected of the warblers. Unfortunately, it
arrived after the birders had already left. Some other goods birds were 2
Philadelphia Vireos, a Least Flycatcher that also arrived in the evening, 2
Red-breasted Nuthatches and a Pine Siskin. A Baltimore Oriole also came in
late in the day.

Here are two photos, the Wilson's Warbler and the Baltimore Oriole. The
day's species list is below.
