Massapequa Preserve, migration

 The last 2 days have been unsually cool for Long Island in August..but that has helped push through some early migrants.  I was working in the office yesterday and there was a lot of sightings so I took advantage this morning since I was WFH and went to the preserve before work.  It was hopping a lot with a lot of activity.  I saw swifts and swallows, Red Eyed and a Warbling Vireo, Great Crested Flycatcher but the highlight was a lot of warblers: Magnolia, Black Throated Greens, Black and Whites, Common Yellowthroat, Yellow, Chestnut Sided, female Redstarts, a Parula, a Blackburnian and a surprise Canada Warbler and 1 or 2 Blue Winged Warblers (11 warbler species)
