Had an extraordinary fall out of birds here at Totman Cove this morning. It was gray and overcast, only in the 40s with a light north breeze. I have never seen so many YR warblers in my life! I counted at least 200. There may have been more. There were so many they were literally flying at my face and landing only a foot two from me. They have been here all day.
