Mills Pond Migrants
It was a pleasure to see multiple wobblers and some sidekicks today at Mills Pond with Virginia. Nice warm up for High Island!!

Fall migration is in the air! Dickcissels and at least 4 upland sandpipers going over on this morning’s walk.
I birded a bit on Post Oak, Alum Creek Road and vicinity this morning (Webberville park closed). Had a few migrants and first of seasons including 10 upland sandpipers (some singing), 4 YH Blackbirds, Franklin’s gulls, painted bunting, yellow throated, white-eye, red-eye vireos, northern parulas, pine warblers, and swainson’s hawk. I also resent the Dropbox…
I set my self the task of trying to catch migrants in front of the moon
Just heard Sandhills going over Hyde park. (Photos from New Mexico, not Hyde Park).
I estimated 330 Wilson’s phalarope at Hornsby in this flock, about 100 in a 2nd flock yesterday. 12 shorebird species.
I believe these are birds taking off at dusk to migrate
