Mid-August is an exciting time of turnover on Southeast Farallon Island, with the summer season drawing to a close, and the fall season just starting to heat up. The arrival of the fall crew on Saturday coincided perfectly with a sudden influx of migrant songbirds. Highlight species thus far have included a vagrant Northern Waterthrush and more common western migrants such as Hermit Warblers, Yellow Warblers, Townsend’s Warblers, a Willow Flycatcher, and a Lark Sparrow.
The fall crew arrives (and so do the migrants!)
