10/6  Stratford, Long Beach Blvd, McKinney NWR - I noticed a large influx of Yellow-rumped (Myrtle) Warblers (40-plus/minus), usual sparrows (Song, Swamp, Savannah, White-throated), and the continuing numerous Eastern Phoebes. 
Long Beach - 5 Nelson's Sparrows, 1 probable Salt Marsh Sparrow. Many Monarch (and other) Butterflies nectaring on Goldenrods on dune.
