Throwback Thursday #5: Storm Blown Birds

On Halloween, 2012, I went to Cal Shaurtz Park to look for storm blown birds. Hurricane Sandy had struck the east coast two days earlier, sending migrating warblers back up the coast a month after they started. On a hill, I spotted something in a small tree. A Black-Throated Blue Warbler! I also saw a waterthrush. Almost anything can get to New York City via storm, and those were just a few of the birds to do it.
