Nature Done Wright

This from Rob Fanning, Thursday — sorry for late post but have been out of pocket:
   Saw my first fall migrant warbler at the CF this morning. A NORTHERN
WATERTHRUSH was which loudly chipping in the "dead zone", and flew to a
high perch for some decent looks. This sets a new fall arrival date for
CF by 2 days (prev. 7/26)
   Even more exciting was an Im.
YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO quietly foraging near the Warden's Watch. The tail
pattern looked like a BB, but it already had the yellow lower mandible
as well as a bit of Rufous in the wings. This establishes the latest CF
record that I know of– I had never seen one at CF after the month of
June. Hopefully it's a sign that they successfully nested at the CF
this year.

   A few BG GNATCATCHERS were also likely early migrants, as well as a BANK SWALLOW–let the Fall migration begin!…
