Yellow-throated Warbler

I first caught sight of this little male two days ago. Although my field guide tells me that Yellow-throated Warblers are 'common in all seasons' to our area here in North Central Florida, we don't often see them at this point in the summer. Although they breed as far north as Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey they also raise young in Missouri, Texas, the Gulf Coast and Northern Florida. It seems that they migrate mostly at night, moving south early, leaving their breeding spots as early as August, wintering in the Gulf Coast States and Florida. Considering that they are predominately insectivores, I found it interesting to see this little guy visiting our bird feeders. 

Hurricane Dorian Update:
After creating utter destruction in the Bahama Islands Dorian is now heading for Florida's eastern coast. There are five know deaths and many many missing in the Islands. Rescue efforts are very difficult because the main airport is under many feet of water and rescues by boat are dangerous because of all the debris in the water. Please keep the people of the Bahamas in your thoughts.
Dorian's eye is approx 100 miles from Florida's Space Coast. It's a Cat 2 and the rain bands are dropping a whole lot of water on coastal towns. The storm surge pushes up into streets causing severe flooding. On top of the storm surge and making it a worse scenario, the East Coast is experiencing a 'King Tide', a phenomenon happening several times yearly which causes abnormally high tides. So even though the storm might not actually make a landfall, it will cause a lot of misery before finally moving off to the northeast and hopefully out into the Atlantic Ocean. C and I live in Gainesville which is in almost the exact middle of the state. It will be rainy and windy tomorrow, no doubt, but nothing like those on the coast will experience. Fletcher and I visited Kanapaha Botanical Gardens this morning. I was surprised at the rather large number of visitors. It's hot and humid and usually we have the Gardens pretty much to ourselves. As I talked with some of the visitors it became clear that most of them were evacuees from other areas of Florida, riding out the hurricane here in friendly Gainesville.
