Another of my favorite fall migration warblers. Deep in the trees, and hand held for me at this point makes it tough, so ignore these not-so-good shots if you want. Mostly for me so I'll remember I didn't miss ALL of this fall migration!
Hi People!
During spring and fall migration, this very sweet sparrow migrates through this area which is part of the Central Flyway. Harris's Sparrows breed in scrub-tundra from northern Northwest Territories to the most northern areas of Ontario. This bird winters south from South Dakota through northern Texas. I found two Harris's gleaning mouthfuls of seed as they ran within some low-growing weeds.
I thank you for stopping by and for leaving comments!
Have a fantastic day!

Yearly migration takes these magnificent birds from northern Canada to the south and they very graciously have chosen to fly over our neighborhood. If you can call open ranch land a neighborhood. We did see several thousand in the air and on the ground. Amazing to see and amazing to listen to the conversations that are taking place in flight and on terra firm...
We look forward to their return next year.
Woodcock Creek Lake, Crawford County, PA. This was one of two immature plovers that recently came through our area. The lighting wasn't great that day, but seeing these birds near each other provided an excellent opportunity to work on my shorebird ID skills. Thanks for looking and your comments or feedback.
Sitting on an ugly wire, but I couldn't seem to carve it out well, so I left it. Is she precious or what?

I might be imagining it but it seems I am seeing downtown buildings reflected in the bird's eye.....not so unlikely since they are just a short distance from the park, just across the street.
...now close your eyes and imagine what looking at 50 times more of these beautiful birds for as far as your eyes could see ... with the beautiful Florida summer sky as the backdrop!

County of Sturgeon north of St.Albert. Last week there were about a dozen, today this is the only one left in the area that I could find. Winter is on the way soon.
Centennial Olympic Park. Atlanta, GA. 11/10/2017.
The black tones on the olive face, and the extensive bay, with some evidence of bay on the sides of the upper chest, likely indicate this bird is a fall adult male.
A female Mallard feeding in the Ottawa River toward the end of the day(light). The water was still, and the bird was making the most of the last of the sun on the River, dipping and diving non-stop.
- Was a great finding on plantation preserve (Linear trail). this bird has been seeing in this location only six times
Plantation Preserve , Fl
The black eye-line, and buff in the flanks indicates this fall bird is a female, and the buff seen on the face is charateristic of a first fall bird of this species.
Cochran Shoals. Atlanta area. 9/6/2017,
I spend a bit of time in the garden trying to capture the interactions between these little birds... Sometimes, I'm rewarded for my efforts.

Thanks for viewing!
Enjoy the Ruby-throated Hummingbirds while they are still around, by early fall they are bound for Central America, with many crossing the Gulf of Mexico in a single flight.
Maybe its COVID and reduced human activity, bit it seems the fall migration this year was heavier than yers past. And, its not because of work from home- I have been full time now for awhile... In spring, the blackpoll and bay breasted often appear at the same time but look very different. in fall, aside from the fell legs (blackpoll) it is easy to confuse the two.
Feeding on my fading Butterfly Bush (Buddleja americana). Time to head south!

ID Marks:
Observed downward pumping of tail,
Gave whit call (similar to Dusky, Least, and Willow),
Yellow lower mandible with black tip (unlike Pacific-slope),
Short primary projection - making tail appear longer,
Complete eyering - not tear-dropped or broken,
Gray with white belly (unlike most Hammond's this time of year which have strong contrast between gray face and yellow belly),
Rounded head and narrow bill.
Fall Migration was in full swing the last day in August. There were too many warblers to count, and many different species. This particular Tennessee Warbler was fueling up to continue its trip south.
One of the delightful experiences we had in Prince Edward County was the visit from a large flock of migrant Bluebirds. About twenty-five of the birds flew in and fed along the Point, and their calls filled the air (a first for me - I had never seen so many, I suppose, because I had never heard them calling to one another). The circling Hawks caused them to move on, but it was one of those migration season gifts.
Woodcock Creek Dam, Crawford County, PA. As though we needed one, this injured yellowlegs is another reminder of all the challenges that birds face during migration. The bird had a wound at the back of its head, perhaps the result of an unsuccessful hawk or falcon attack. It was walking with an awkward and unsteady gait as well. On the plus side, it was actively feeding. I hope that the bird made it safely to its final destination and recovers fully. Thanks for looking and any comments or feedback. Have good weekend.
