Yellow-rumped Warbler boon

Yellow-rumped Warblers are moving in very good numbers down from their breeding areas in higher elevations as part of their annual migration. I stopped at the Florence River Park today and saw several large flocks of Yellow-rumps moving through. Most were of the Audubon sub-species (though the Arkansas River corridor often draws good numbers of the Myrtle sub-species).

I then drove to several locations west of Wetmore (a small town south of Florence) where even more Yellow-rumps were moving through. There were several Stellar's Jays in some of these locations as well as Black-capped Chickadees. Robins were abundant, often traveling in large groups (some may be migrating south from more northern or higher elevation locations). I saw one lonely White-breasted Nuthatch among a mixed flock of Yellow-rumps and chickadees.
