Feeding on wild Jewel Weed at Presquile Provincial Park,Ontario

Finally saw some verifiable stilt sandpipers. We only see them during migration. There was a flock a good ways from me on the other side of a mud flat. Most of the larger birds with long bills are the stilts. Possibly a couple of dowagers too. Smaller birds most likely least and/or semipalmated sandpipers. Stilts were lifers for me.

Look what fall migration brought to my yard! I think the sound of the water fountain was the attraction. I looked out the window and spotted it.

This butterfly had just been tagged at Presquile Provincial Park,Ontario.

I removed the website and e-mail address from the tag.

The bird was feeling friendly.

I thought the warbler was thirsty but instead it had a bath in mind. After the bath, it fluffed up and sat there air drying. That complete eye ring is one way to tell this species apart from orange-crowned warblers. The paler yellow makes it either a female or immature male.

So many Cape May Warblers on this morning.

Brown Thrasher, Green Cay Wetlands, Boynton Beach, FL

While the little birds were flying from branch to branch picking berries off the tree, the Brown Thrasher was on the ground picking what fell of the tree or the other birds dropped.

Happy Feathery Friday... again! :-)

Miquelon Lake Provincial Park, AB, Canada

I've been wanting to capture the pale (or gray) coloured winter plumage of the American Avocet. My wish came true! I know others have found or seen a huge flock at the other Miquelon Lake, but this one Avocet was hanging around the beach area. These are all lifer shots for me!

An AHY male Cape May Warbler in fall plumage. This has been a bird I've wanted to photograph for a while, and although I'm still wanting to get photos in breeding plumage, I was pretty happy with some of the shots in this series.
