Not quite an epic day, but the best fall migration day for me of 2009 with good numbers of birds at Strawberry Fields at dawn (the benefit of getting the 0535 out of Princeton Jct) and birds continuing to drop in for at least another hour or more. Sparrows, woodpeckers, phoebe and kinglets dominated, with an unspectacular warbler diversity but I managed to eke out 13 warbler species (not bad for fall) but nearly all in the single digits for individuals. Species mix was mid-late fall, with both Swainson's and Wood Thrushes outnumbering the single Hermit Thrush and Red-eyed rather than Blue-headed Vireos.
