The first week in review

Checking out the blogs from other observatories, I thought I'd do an overview of our weekly totals (Aug 31- Sept 5) for anyone who is looking for fall migratory information at Fort Morgan . . . instead of just my ramblings about life in the field!

Species captured and numbers:
American Redstart- 1
Black and White Warbler- 1
Blue Gray Gnatcatcher- 6
Carolina Chickadee- 3

In general, what we lack in abundance we make up for in diversity!
