At Robert Moses SP, on the western Suffolk County barrier beach, Pat Lindsay, Pete Morris, and I tallied 23 Yellow Palm Warblers, plus 5 more Palms that we were unable to assign.
The overall total is not really exceptional for this species-site-date combination, but the number of Yellow Palms--and their utter preponderance--was unique, in my experience. Usually large fall counts of Palm Warblers on the coast come a bit earlier and are heavily weighted to nominate Western Palms. Yellow Palms are later and scarcer in general.

Center Ossining (off Rte 9), Kyle Bardwell and I had likely more than 100 palm warblers -- everywhere. Also of note at least 2 blackpoll, swamp and field sparrow, raven and a late Osprey. L.
