Last Monday (October 8) we captured a total of 30 different species here at Petit Manan Point. This amounts to roughly 4% of the total number of breeding species in North America. It may not seem like a lot, but it is: it translates into vast numbers of individual birds utilizing refuge habitat on their migratory journey.
Below are some highlights from the past week:
- White-eyed Vireo
- Black-billed Cuckoo
- Chestnut-sided Warbler
- Gray Catbird
- Pine Warbler
Savannah Sparrow
Tennessee Warbler
“Yellow” Palm Warbler
Yellow-breasted Chat
Hi, very nice classifications of birds. I like it.
