A total of 817 calls, representing at least 669 birds, was recorded. Compared to last week, warblers declined from 86% of calls to 68% while sparrows increased from 8% to 24%. Thrushes remained the same at 4% of calls. The most common bird of the week was Common Yellowthroat at 117 calls, followed by White-throated Sparrow (72), and Yellow-rumped Warbler (63). The count of this late warbler was nearly triple what it was last week. Palm Warblers continued in good numbers (55) while there was a noticeable decline in the once dominant Magnolia Warbler from 329 calls last week to 55 calls this week. The unidentifiable to species Melospiza flight call also increased three-fold this week (38 calls). These likely represent mostly Swamp Sparrows at this time in September. The rare bird for the week was a Brown Thrasher at 6:41 am on 22 September. Uncommon warblers included a Pine Warbler at 5:41 am on 28 September. A summary table follows.
