Binocular weekend

Songbird migration is definitely underway, but still not to a level that would tempt me to burn a vacation day. Just the same, the binocular and I both got a good workout over the weekend. Added a Flycatcher, probably a Least, to my fall list, but without a call, hard to say for certain. On the other hand, two tough warblers for my area in a Wilson's and a Connecticut were a definite. The Conecticut reminded me of the Macgillivray's I used to see out in Oregon, so all the more fun. Also pleased to spot a Kestrel in an area not usually known for this little falcon. A new bird? Regardless, the male was spectacular in the Zeiss Victory Compact binocular. Would have been even better in a spotting scope.
