no Cape Mays but lots of finches
Didn't see any Cape May Warblers this morning but I did spot the other warblers that have been hanging around in recent days: American Redstart, Black-and-white, Prairie, Yellow, Common Yellowthroat and Northern Waterthrush. Also Ruby-throated Hummingbird at the head of the marsh, Royal Terns on the creek and a young Eastern Phoebe hunting insects right out my porch window.
The most numerous birds are still Goldfinches and House Finches along with flocks of Black-capped Chickadees. The finches have assembled to eat the Marsh Elder seeds which are in profusion right now.
