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.
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.

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! :-)

Oklahoma and Texas show large migrations occurring tonight. Also Florida panhandle. Tomorrow could bring some new birds.

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.

On the Road to Everglades National Park, FL
As I mentioned yesterday we left early Sunday morning for a sunrise shoot at my favorite place in the Everglades and then went in search of the Vermilion Flycatcher. Ivan and Rob found him on Tuesday and Ivan told me that he was very cooperative. Well not really, at least not on Sunday.
But we did get him briefly in a tree rather than on the barbed wire fence, which he seemed to prefer (below).
The Vermilion Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus) is a spectacular and distinctive flycatcher. It inhabits riparian areas and scrub in the southwestern United States and southward. It perches conspicuously, making periodic flights to nab insect prey.
The species grows to about seven inches in length, and is strongly dimorphic; males are bright red pr red-orange, with dark brown plumage. Females have a peach-colored belly with a dark grey upper side.
