The Rob Fanning Report: 081712

Rob sez:

“The first migrant warblers have started to appear at the CF–today featured a a female-type AMERICAN REDSTART and a “limey,” aka a young CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER.

“Hummingbirds have been around daily–the peak of their migration thru the CF is now thru early Sept. Several BOBOLINKS were heard “pinking” there way to Argentina.”

The full list follows. (Thanks, Rob!)
