A large influx of White-throated Sparrows was notable this morning.

Other migrants included:
Phoebe
Eastern Wood Pewee
Yellow-bellied flycatcher (I'm having a good fall with these guys)
Swainson's Thrush
R-c Kinglet
Black-throated Blue
American Redstart
Blackpoll
Yellow-rumped (my first for the season)
Wilson's

My oddball sighting of the day was a bird along the break wall that I believe to be an escaped canary. It was a little larger that a house finch and pale-lemon yellow all over with a slight smudge of orange on the throat. It vocalized several times, twittering. I have no familiarity with caged birds and exotics, but I can't think of any other possibilities.

It was a beautiful morning to be out.
