A fun visitor arrived yesterday, a lone Robin. Today, I also saw one lone Grackle. Maybe there will be some fall migration sightings in this backyard after all. It is a weird fall, it is colder but the trees are not there yet, they are still all green! Calendars are still on the hold (except for desk ones) but I hope to get them all out by the end of the week.โ

The MoDos also had plenty of offspring, and it seems like they all know right from the start how to pose. In a weird kind of way, the youngsters almost seem more serious (first birb) ๐Ÿ˜†โ

Drove 10 hours to get my once in a lifetime view of Kirtland's warbler, probably the rarest bird I have yet seen. Crawford County, Michigan, June 2023

I love Northern Cardinals. They have such attitude and love to stare you in the face! ๐Ÿฆ โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜

The photographer is Jocelyn Anderson, and this cardinal certainly has something to say to her. ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿคฃ

Due to some maintenance work, the live cams will be off for a couple of days, and I won't be able to post. Things will be back to normal next week. To hold you over, here is the King.

For your viewing pleasure: a tufted titmouse daintily nibbles on a peanut held between its foot and a branch. What's not to love about these sweet-faced, teardrop-shaped borbs?
