2025-09-06: Early fall migration on Mara Island

I took a short daytrip visit to Mara Island in early September to see what migration was looking like at that point. It was a hot day, so I was glad the visit was shortened a bit by other commitments. Plenty of Common Terns seen from the ferry, as well as some Streaked Shearwaters and Red-necked Phalaropes. The island itself had a decent variety of birds, not a massive amount of diversity or numbers but still some good ones. Several Siberian Blue Robins, a Paradise Flycatcher, Eastern-crowned Warblers, and a Red-necked Stint were among some of the birds present that day.
