Richard Pope, Sharron, Richard, Alexander Skevington and I birded the island today. It was slowish but we had several decent birds. There was a fair reverse migration at Fish Point this morning. The highlight was a Yellow-throated Warbler reversing at about 7 am. A prothonotary warbler was in the slough at the southwest corner of Fish Point.
We had a Hooded Warbler at middle point after lunch. Late in the afternoon we saw another Yellow-throated Warbler at Lighthouse Point along with Mourning and Orange-crowned Warblers. We ended up with 26 species of warblers over a rather slow but steady day.
