Gentle Readers,
Sy Fishbein, Mike Ready, and Harry Glasgow led a group of eleven other birders
at Huntley Meadows Park on Monday, 9/26/2005, from 0710 to 0945. Fall
migration was made evident by the presence of four species of warblers.
Migrating American Robins graced the tops of the trees. Both male and female
Red-winged Blackbirds were present in large numbers. It was a very special day
