Fall Migration
Fall migration is in the air! Dickcissels and at least 4 upland sandpipers going over on this morning’s walk.

Got bird # 149 at the Dacha recently (found by Mary)
Distribution !!!! 3 of the 7 Habits !!! Here’s birds (I think) on radar from this morning. They appear to be landing for the morning. Also attached is Birdcast prognostication for tonight. And finally, here’s a new way to explore distribution and migration. IT is fascinating!!! Distribution Map at Audubon
I believe virtual sparrow fest is free this year. https://www.friendsofbalcones.org/event-4122116. Sign up and see what Dr Birdy and friends can find on the refuge. Try googling sparrowfest 2021 if link above doesn’t work.
I won’t say it will lead to birds on the ground for us ( having learned my lesson?). But I’m hopeful for Thursday and Friday
Another question for 2022 gulls class: with these long narrow wings with black wingtips I thought I had what species? But what species is it actually?
