Index of Subjects We did a boat trip to MSI that day, circumnavigating the island and there were still migrants on the island but most had left. It was interesting to watch warblers feeding in the rockweed. The next day (Ralph, the keeper, had left the island on Wednesday), warblers were landing on the lobster fishing boats in the morning as the weather continued to be foggy and wet. There were also warblers landing on the Grand Manan ferry. Hard to say how many landed on MSI during the night on Thursday.
