Now that the excitement of the Sedge Wren's rare appearance has simmered down, it's time to focus on the Fall Migration again. It is far from over, as the report below from Stephanie Seymour of Englewood, NJ. demonstrates:

There seems to have been a good migration last night. I got to the park in Strawberry Fields at first light and there was much activity - actually, most of my time was spent in Strawberry Fields [SF], since it was so busy there. Highlights include 2 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers, many Kinglets - mostly Ruby-crowned, 1 Field Sparrow and 1 Junco among the hundreds of White-throats, a gorgeous Pine Warbler that was hopping on the ground in front of me, lots of Hermit Thrushes, and 3 Winter Wrens. Here is my full list:
