I wonder if that has to do with actual shifts in migration patterns across the state (favoring more inland routes as the weather gets rougher) or purely that late-migrants tend to have more affinity for your "average" Piedmont mixed field/meadow/hedge/woodland site? Agreed.

Yeah- I meant to post this morning. The interior was "bumpin'" this morning, with MANY sparrows around HMF (I didn't have time to work through them... taking care of the little Wren these days). I did spy a few Purple Finches and heard a plethora of Golden-crowned Kinglets, a few Sapsuckers and lots and lots of Yellow-rumped Warblers. Late fall is indeed much more productive in the Piedmont than is early fall, IMHO. Cheers D Nice. Yeah- I meant to post this morning.
