a dark & stormy morn

A dark and stormy morn. Gulls and Royal Terns seemed to be enjoying it but most everything else was hunkered down. Surprisingly though, I spotted four warbler species: Common Yellowthroat, Black-and-white, Prairie and Northern Waterthrush, the lastnamed a bird that hasn't been seen around here in several weeks. Hurricanes and Tropical Storms do sometimes send exotic birds our way. Thanks to Irene -- a few years back, I admit -- we had a Bridled Tern on the creek and it's on my 'property' list! Eric Salzman
