My sample was limited as I was not in the state at all in September.
However, this last week, migration has been good in East-Central Alabama. Good numbers of expected mid October migrants.
Thanks,
Jim

Subject: [ALbirds] Warbler numbers this Fall
Hi All,
Now that Fall warbler migration has wound down, I'd like to hear what other birders across the state think about warbler numbers this Fall. For me, warbler numbers in the Tennessee Valley seemed to be way down. I just didn't encounter the good-sized flocks of Magnolia, Tennessee, American Redstarts, etc. that I am used to seeing. Talking with other Tennessee Valley birders, they feel the same way. For one thing, I thought the weather patterns were a little unusual this Fall, especially September.
What are your thoughts? Was it an average Fall for you, or did warbler numbers seem to be low?
