I awoke this morning, dreamed of getting this photo, hoped the Nashville's had migrated, went to the place in Steigerwald Lake NWR where I first see them, and sure enough, my dream came true.

Las Murallas Reales de Ceuta son un Conjunto Monumental de la Ciudad autónoma de Ceuta, que data del año 962 en su parte más antigua y la más moderna del siglo XVIII.
El foso de San Felipe divide el conjunto monumental en dos partes, a la vez que divide también en dos partes a la ciudad de Ceuta. Estas están unidas por tres puentes que lo cruzan, dos en el extremo norte y uno en el extremo sur del canal. Este foso se caracteriza por ser navegable para pequeñas embarcaciones, lo que acorta el camino de la bahÃa norte a la bahÃa sur de la ciudad, ya que de no existir este paso se deberÃa rodear la penÃnsula de Almina.
Esta fortificación se construyó para defender el istmo que separa la penÃnsula de Almina, dónde se asentaba la antigua ciudad, del continente africano. (Wikipedia)
I saw it late in the afternoon at the feeder for the first time but when I got my camera it was gone. Finally perched high in my neighbor's tree and I had to wrangle through the branches to get this. Hope he/she comes back so I can determine which selasphorus was my first visitor this season.
For those who aren't familiar with birder lingo, FOS stands for First of Season, used to refer to the first bird spotted during fall migration (they since we had them in the spring, they are not First of Year). This early bird turned up in our yard yesterday-- a pretty typical timing based on my notes. They will be coming through in increasing numbers for another few weeks until we reach our usual daily group of 5-10 birds. These personalities are a bright spot in our otherwise typically-gray winter.
A very nice surprise flyby of a flock of Common Goldeneyes. In that flock was a single male Barrow's Goldeneye!! My FOS for both.
Always good to have the buntings back! Saw three today and photo'd two. Light was a challenge today. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Had a pair of Orchard males and a Baltimore in the same area this morning. Just migrated in. More scissortails and FOS Eastern Kingbirds. Still waiting on the buntings and tanagers. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Català : La BB67568 empeny la branca RRR 317 amb el TER 879731 Miramas - Marseille, al seu pas per l'estany de Lavalduc. L'aigua d'aquest estany té una alta salinitat, ja que actua com a dipòsit de salmorra de la indústria d'hidrocarburs, i el seu color rosat es deu a la presència d'una alga vermella. Cal esmentar la dura batalla que vaig tenir amb els matolls per poder arribar fins aquest punt, tot i que l'esforç no es va veure recompensat amb el pas de cap mercant. De totes maneres, aquest material era el principal objectiu de la visita, donat que l'arribada dels nous automotors regionals pronostica la seva jubilació.
Castellano: La BB67568 empuja la rama RRR 317 con el TER 879731 Miramas - Marseille, a su paso por el estanque de Lavalduc. El agua de este estanque tiene una alta salinidad, ya que actua como depósito de salmuera de la industria de hidrocarburos, y su color rosado se debe a la presencia de una alga roja. Cabe destacar la dura batalla que libré con los matojos para poder llegar a este punto, aunque el esfuerzo no se vió recompensado con el paso de ningún mercante. De todas formas, este material era el principal objetivo de la visita, puesto que la llegada de los nuevos automotores regionales pronostica su jubilación.
Français: La BB67568 pousse la rame RRR 317 avec le TER 879731 Miramas - Marseille, vu à l'Étang de Lavalduc. L'eau de cet étang à une haute salinité, puisque il s'agit d'un dêpot de saumure, et son couleur rosé est à cause de la presence d'une algue rouge.
Friday at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The forest rally stage was run in reverse, giving a new photographic opportunity at the jump.

One can see how this species is described as "like a large Least Sandpiper"
Found this lone Scissor-tailed Flycatcher on this gray, cloudy morning. From his behavior think he migrated in overnight. He was weary and reluctant to fly, but catching bugs. Relocated the Yellow-throated Vireo we heard the other day, but no usuable pics. Also saw two Osprey and migrating Least Sandpipers. A poor day for photography, but a good day birding.
Most folks get excited about seeing wildflowers or sunsets or such on a roadtrip. Me, I like toilets in the middle of nowhere for no apparent reason. US 75 near Melissa, Texas.

My first of the season White-Crowned Sparrow (this is a juvenile) showed up in our yard today. They've been gone since March and I'm happy to have them back.
