Yellow-rumped Warbler
The remnants of tropical storm Karen in the Atlantic Ocean are moving northward, and clouds, rain (tonight and tomorrow), and strong northeasterly winds are being blown into the area. When I arrived at the trail at 9:00, the sky was entirely overcast, but from 9:30 to 10:30 there were broken clouds and a little sunshine.
It was fairly quiet on the trail. Most of the birds I saw were between the downstream picnic table and the bog area, which, except for the past couple of years, has been the primary birding area on the trail. I only saw two warbler species: Black-throated Green and Yellow-rumped. I saw a Red-eyed Vireo, the first one in a couple of weeks. Both of the Kinglets, Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned, were seen in multiple locations, and I ended up with 25 species on the trail this morning.
