Another night of migration over the Garden State. Birds initially started out heading E/SE, launching off the coast just after sunset. By early morning they switched to a more southerly direction along the coast. Very interesting!

David, many WT Sparrows here at Duke this morning, as well as Brown Creeper, 6 species of warblers, and probably the most impressive thing being the 45 Common Mergansers which arrived here a few days ago and do not appear to be going anywhere to soon. By the way, Sunday should be good at Chimney Rock for your information.
Talk to you soon.
David, yesterday(Sunday) here at Duke brought a variety of sparrows including White Crowned, Lincoln’s numerous Swamp, and a few Horned Larks, not to mention 8 species of warblers and many sapsuckers, creepers, and both kinglets. But I guess the “best” bird was the nighthawk over my house here at the estate last night. A bit late I would say? Should be another good flight after the passgae of this next pretty impressive front that will be moving through shortly. I will keep you posted as to new birds here at Duke. – Chris Aquila, Supervisor of Natural Resources & Research – Duke Farms Foundation
