Hi Everybody, If y'all hear a loud wailing noise on Warbler Day, pay no attention -- it's just me, stuck here in Lexington and trying to make friends with the large flock of Starlings in the back yard. Thanks, Roger, for making me cry! :) Seriously, though, I hope everyone has a blast on Warbler Day on Compton Mountain, home of the fall migration extravaganza! I'll be thinking of you all and the warblers. Thank you, Roger, for posting all the species. May your Warblers be plentiful and your Cowbirds be few.
