Since the middle of August we have seen a few species of migratory birds. These were not in the numbers we normally see during the fall migration, but 3 days ago we had a very strong wind that seemed to push some of our common fall migration visitors to the island. Today, sitting on the porch of one of the cabins, I got a nice view of Northern and Louisiana waterthrush, Prothonotary Warbler, a Summer and a Scarlet tanager, several Swainson´s Thrush and some Red-eyed Vireos. The migratory birds are finally around!!! Maybe the weather in the North America was too good to leave as early as usual?
