September brought a modest wave of migrants into Morris Township today. At the Patriot’s Path area of Washington Valley Road, a juvenile Yellow-bellied Flycatcher appeared in the southwest corner of the field before moving on. Also present were Black-and-white Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, American Redstart, Northern Parula, Magnolia, Chestnut-sided and Black-throated Green Warblers and a Baltimore Oriole.

At Sayre’s Farm, Jamie Glydon and I had great looks at a Tennessee Warbler. Later, a probable second individual was located in a different section of the property. Also at the farm were 6 Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, Chimney Swifts, 3 E. Wood-Pewees, 2 Alder-Willow (Traill’s) Flycatchers, Red-eyed Vireos, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Common Yellowthroats and a Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

Early morning migrants reported by Simon Lane were Alder/Willow (Traill’s) Flycatcher, Least Flycatcher, a continuing White-eyed Vireo, Warbling and Red-eyed Vireos, Blue-winged, Black-and-white Warblers, Common Yellowthroat, 7 American Redstarts, Magnolia, Bay-breasted, 3 Chestnut-sided, Black-throated Green and Canada Warblers, Scarlet Tanager and Indigo Bunting.
