Frontera Audubon Thicket, 9/8/10

A warm, humid, drippy, rainy morning brought in more migrants than I've seen since spring. Noteworthy were Chestnut-sided, Blackburnian and Tennessee Warblers, all of which are very uncommon in fall. Unfortunately the weather made for crappy photos. Here's the Chestnus-sided Warber.

It sure is easier taking ode pics. This is only the second Rainpool Spreadwing I have seen.
