Red Eyed Vireo at Terrapin Nature Park.

Sandy Point provided a decent sunrise this morning, and had far more birds than usual. I didn’t see anything special, but that has to be a good sign.

Terrapin was very busy, with several warblers, Ospreys, butterflies, herons and egrets. The weather was the best in a long while; in the 70s with a slight breeze and low humidity. September may be the best birding month.
