Things have picked up again and there were many more birds present today
(most in the tree tops and went unidentified).  The fog/mist didn't help
much.  One tree near the stairs to the saddle had 9 of the 12 BNWA all at
one time.  A very impressive sight!

Per Giff Beaton, the migration season is atleast three weeks from being
over.  We usually experience another major push of birds in middle to later
October as the season progresses.  Many of the more interesting sightings
have occured in middle October.  So don't put the bins away for the season
yet!  Keep on coming out  and see what else shows up....

See ya!  BZ
