Someone just reported another gull from our “uncommon 7” list. Hoping a B3er will find one this winter!!
I found this list of ABA countable introduced species helpful. Article at ABA
Fall migration is in the air! Dickcissels and at least 4 upland sandpipers going over on this morning’s walk.
Love it when it’s quiet enough to hear the snap of warbler bills. The “snap” may be the warblers popping open elm seeds, as it sounds particularly loud these days. Update: I now believe the snap I hear is the warbler bill coming together on an insect. Not seeds popping. I knew y’all were waiting…
I finally got one!! Two actually, an apparently mated pair. Give me an ID before I give you the location.
Love the antics and appeal of the Pygmy Nuthatches!!
