Heavy rains and winds forced a multi-flock of tropical visitors heading north to breeding grounds into Margaret's back garden on Oyster Creek. She writes her final count, "I actually had 35 migrant species and 33 local species in the yard for a total of 68. As mentioned previously, there were 14 different warblers! Wow!"
Here are 3 of the Warblers that visited.
