Sorry I'm so late catching you up on fall migration here at RRBO. Suffice to say we have had the following species of migrants since 14 August:

• Least, Yellow-bellied, and "Traill's" Flycatchers
• Red-breasted Nuthatch
• Veery
• Swainson's Thrush
• Tennessee Warbler
• Nashville Warbler
• Chestnut-sided Warbler
• Black-throated Blue Warbler
• Bay-breasted Warbler
• Blackpoll Warbler
• Black-and-white Warbler
• American Redstart (droves yesterday, 5 Sep)
• Ovenbird
• Northern Waterthrush
• Canada Warbler
• Wilson's Warbler

Today saw our first BLACK-THROATED GREEN and CONNECTICUT WARBLERS and PURPLE FINCH of the season. I have a report of a nearby HOODED WARBLER on 3 September. I have to check it out and get back with you on that.

For those of you that are interested, please contact me regarding the stunning new Rouge River Bird Observatory short sleeve t-shirts. Navy blue on heather gray, they feature our logo on the front full-chest and "It's all about...Zugunruhe" on the back. Available in large or X-large for $15.

I will endeavor to make weekly updates on migration.
