Birdcast
Night of September 21 looks like a doosie!!! I think I’ll go birding the morning of the 22nd.

Hearing migrants on my walk this morning: Yellow, Nashville & Orange crown warblers, Clay-colored Sparrow, Dickcissels, Broad wing Hawk, Great crested fly… Also a new yard bird in Hyde park yesterday: PABU!! I’m getting antsy to get to High Island !!!
I believe these are birds taking off at dusk to migrate
I estimated 330 Wilson’s phalarope at Hornsby in this flock, about 100 in a 2nd flock yesterday. 12 shorebird species.
This is birdcast’s way of saying “stay frosty!”
And here’s a small challenge for you B3 grads (or anyone else): ID this bird and tell us why. What is the diagnostic field mark?
Another great trip to High Island with Eric and others!!! Witnessing a fallout happen was amazing!!!
