Warbler Day 2016

On September 17 my wife and I hosted our 13th annual Warbler Day event on Compton Mountain in Buchanan County VA. Twenty-one birders attended and 61 species were counted in and near our yard for the day. Fifteen of those were warblers. These are some of the photos taken of both people and birds.
