There are still a number of songbirds around the marsh, although their numbers will gradually decrease as the days go by. I do wonder what effect the approaching hurricane will have on the birds. Apparently birds are sensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure, which enables them to sense when a storm is coming. They then try to fly out of the storm's path or seek shelter.
I was able to catch this young Yellow Warbler (at least I'm pretty sure that's what it is) in a gray birch this morning. These warblers winter in the Bahamas, Mexico and South America, so this bird has a long flight coming up.
