- Comments: "Spotted by MCHL on the same tree that hosted a Connecticut Warbler early in September. Situation was similar to the time we saw a Mississippi Kite just as we were talking about how much we wanted to see a Kite. This time, giddy about the absurdity of the situation, we took some photos as the bird chased a few bugs, sat up in the tree once, and then walked around under the tree (coming into the open on foot several times). Behavior-wise the bird seemed all CT warbler. Later, upon showing the photos to RF and some of Michael's crew, we were told the bird looked much better for first winter mourning warbler. Oops! I am going to look at some pictures tonight - in the meantime here are the pics:"

We had a classic fall migration day this morning. Excited by the overnight report of 1 million + birds moving over Kings County, we were greeted by many EASTERN PHOEBEs and a mix of warblers on Pier 1. Surprising to see most of them in a London Plane tree, which are generally sterile and birdless, but we noted that it was the only tree in the sun at the time. By the time we got to Pier 3, NORTHERN FLICKERs and BLUE JAYs had started to stream in. We mostly stayed in one place on the lawn, letting both subspecies of PALM WARBLER, two BROWN THRASHERs, and a LINCOLN"S SPARROW show themselves.
