Despite the strong westerlies blowing since yesterday, no major discoveries were made on the island today. Perhaps the most noteworthy event was the finding in early afternoon by PAC of the second Northern Parula of the autumn - this time a 1cy female - in Ribeira do Lapa.
The rest of the day was rather uneventful with most reports concerning bird discovered in previous days that were relocated, including 4 Red-eyed Vireos, 3 Scarlet Tanagers and the Common Yellowthroat and Rose-breasted Grosbeak still lingering at the same spot. In addition to this, yesterday's Wilson's snipe was re-observed by many birders on the middle road in the morning while in late afternoon Graeme Joynt located a second Wilson's at the old harbour, raising the possibility of two birds being now present on the island.
