Herrick madness continues: Peregrine and 11 warbler species!What a difference a day makes- blue skies, flat-calm water and the first hint of fall colour made for a beautiful morning's birding.  I hadn't been out long when a commotion from the Killdeer alerted me to the presence of a raptor - my first Clarke County Peregrine (in fact, possibly THE first Clarke County Peregrine!). I managed a couple of silhouetted photos before it disappeared.   Also of note were my FOTS White-throated Sparrows.  The large Chimney Swift flock had moved on, but one Northern Rough-winged Swallow continued.  Warblers put on a good show again, with Common Yellowthroat and this bright Blackburnian Warbler new from yesterday.  Black-throated Green and Palm Warblers soaking up the early morning sun.
