Tennessee Warbler
Finding migrating warblers on the parkway continues to be very spotty and far less than in previous years this late in September. Perhaps the change in weather during the next few days will usher in more birds. I first found warblers at the upper end of the cirque at mm 7.5. There were at least five warbler species there, along with a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, a Scarlet Tanager, and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.

The next one stumped me until I saw its underside.

The following warbler is probably a Tennessee, but its undertail coverts and tail look more like a female Black-throated Blue Warbler.

The bill on the Scarlet Tanager looks somewhat orange to me rather than the expected grayish-yellow.

I continued south on the parkway, and found a pair of one of my favorite warblers, Northern Parula, along with a Magnolia Warbler still in partial breeding plumage and a Blue-headed Vireo just before Reids Gap at mm. 14.

I saw very few birds all the way down to Yankee Horse Ridge (mm. 34), and only saw a few birds there.

I turned around and saw very few birds on my return.
