Greetings, VTBIRDers:

Here's a reminder that my Better Birding lecture on Hawk Migration will 
be Friday evening, September 7, at 6:30pm in Montpelier (and NOT the 
usual first Monday of the month). This will be a presentation mostly on 
hawks in flight (in time for migration, which gets cranked up in a week 
or so). Here are details on the lecture series:

Also note that the mountains have been busy with migrating songbirds. 
I've been spending clear nights on high summits, birding my way down the 
mountain in the mornings. The usual array of warblers have included Cape 
May and Bay-breasted over the past 10 days or so. Among singing birds at 
dawn (making me wistful for spring) have been Blackpoll Warbler, 
Black-throated Blue Warbler, and Black-and-white Warbler. A few sunset 
and moonrise shots from this past Saturday-Sunday are on The Daily Wing 
at: http://www.dailywing.net/

Finally, the latest edition of my monthly micro-newsletter, FIELD NOTES, 
is now online at http://tinyurl.com/d55yvoa. Among the features in this 
issue is an image of Sabine's Gull, which shows up fairly reliably on 
lake Champlain in mid September.

Best,
Bryan Pfeiffer
