BSBO received a message this morning from East Harbor State Park. Our
friend Chris wrote: I would like to let my friends at BSBO know that the
lake level is low and that at East Harbor State Park there are many sand
bars exposed. These sand bars are covered with gulls, terns, and shorebirds
(mostly "peeps"). Try the swiming beach to the north first. Since I hadn't
heard a "peep" from anyone on the listserv about shorebirds at East Harbor
State Park, I thought I'd pass this along! (Kenn will be proud of my bird
pun!). Visit [...]40_8Sep201205:53:[log in to unmask]

A series of cold fronts have really started the migration engine.

Today the Black Swamp Bird Observatory's Navarre Banding Station had 17
warbler species, a major increase in Gray-cheeked Thrush, and it's first
Golden-crowned Kinglet for the fall.

A major movement of Red-breasted Nuthatch has been ongoing all week.
Blackpoll Warbler has become the dominant warbler with a slight increase in
Yellow-rumps.

Early species are still possible this weekend with an expected increase in
"October" birds. Weather looks favorable fr a continued influx. It is time
for the first Juncos!



BSBO will conduct its first fall banding demonstration on Saturday from 10 -
11:30 AM. Come out and join us to learn about migration and see what species
joins us. The water feature at the Window on Wildlife is getting a wide
variety of warblers and the Selasphorus hummingbird is still a regular.
