There were signs of a change in the birds here overnight. I was planning to take a day off from birding today but as I was trying to make breakfast, my sausage-and-eggs preparation was interrupted three times as I had to get the binocs to scan through the birds that were flitting around the yard. (note to self: don't leave the gas on under the frying pan after going in the yard with binocs). After finally finishing breakfast, I took a stroll through Twin Lakes county park in Eastchester. Activity was good there too, with nice numbers of the 10 commonest warbler species, with Black-throated greens being the most numerous. Of most interest, I had 12 Yellow-rumpeds and 4 Palm warblers, which I haven't seen here in Westchester yet this fall. Also saw 4 Blue-headed vireos, which I haven't seen since spring.
