More of the Palm Warbler that I didn't realize I got that day.
Gateway National Recreation Area Sandy Hook, New Jersey
This male warbler was very intent on gleaming moths from a few specific shrubs. It paid me no mind whatsoever and would occasionally chase an insect by my feet.
This day was really slow, except for the start. I just got off the bus, and saw Wilma kiting into the wind. She was joined by The Boy. He didn't come as close as she did.I hadn't seen her fly in a long time. No joy on the pictures, too dark.

One thing I love about living where I do, is this rather amazing spectacle of nature that can be witnessed every fall at Hawk Ridge Nature Reserve, which stands on an ~800 feet (~250 meters) high bluff overlooking Lake Superior. On any given day in September and October, anywhere from hundreds to tens of thousands of birds of prey migrate past the overlook (the daily record is 101,000 broad-winged hawks!), originating from summer breeding grounds as far north as the Arctic and with wintering destinations as far south as South America. Raptor enthusiasts come from all over the world to watch it unfold, while enjoying magnificent views of The Great Lake.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Back to my shorebird series! Enjoy!
Large gatherings of the snow geese during late fall 2017, just before heading farther south for the winter.
She got very, very close. I think she was curious about the camera. Wasn't bothered by a jogger going by either.
I've taken 218797 pictures and still it hasn't blown up.
Sample of Dead Birds that struck buildings in Washington D.C. during the Fall and Spring of 2012 in a short stretch of streets from Union Station to the Convention Center, photo stitched together from 18 separate hi res shots. Specimens surveyed (with permits) by Lights Out DC group and deposited in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History , can you name all the species?
The monarchs gather each fall at the Peninsula Point State Park in Stonington (Upper Peninsula of Michigan). They wait there along the shores of Lake Michigan for a north wind or favorable flying conditions. When the time is right, they fly en masse over Lake Michigan and continue on their long journey to Mexico.
We felt our first hint of Fall yesterday in North Texas. A cool front late Friday night dropped us from our normal 95 to 105 degree days to a wonderful high of 83. The cool spell caused the Cattle Egrets to start flocking together, and it gave the local horses something to get excited about.
Thanks goodness I had my camera handy to catch some of the excitement.
Sorry I've been gone so long - I really miss my Flickr friends.
The dew was very thick this morning. This little one seemed not to notice the big droplet on its chin.
Fall migration has begun as I spotted this warbling vireo and some warblers have stopped in for a bit before heading down south.

(Setophaga americana) -- Northern Parula
A small warbler of the upper canopy, the Northern Parula flutters at the edges of branches plucking insects. This bluish gray warbler with yellow highlights breeds in forests laden with Spanish moss or beard lichens, from Florida to the boreal forest, and it's sure to give you "warbler neck." It hops through branches bursting with a rising buzzy trill that pinches off at the end. Its white eye crescents, chestnut breast band, and yellow-green patch on the back set it apart from other warblers.

I only see these big, beautiful doves during spring & fall migration. Always fun to look out and spot one.
