Yesterday was a good day at our local hawk count watch, over 8,000 raptors in flight with the first Rough-legged Hawks coming through.

Nashville warbler eating seeds from my Joe Pye weed. It was after sunset so the picture is grainy but I feel lucky to have seen it! #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #warbler #FallMigration

Pagan community Notes: Week of October 2, 2025

In this week’s Pagan Community Notes: South Florida Pagan Pride shines with a successful gathering, ATC Matriarch Belladonna LaVeau shares a message, Cherry Hill Seminary announces it will begin offering ordinations, Star offers her Tarot of the Week, and (careful broom riders!) the fall migration fills the skies with birds on the move.

The Wild Hunt

The American Pipits (Anthus rubescens) rooting in the muck. Arriving from the Arctic, they always have a stopover for a few days or weeks to rest and feed in this beaver pond.
A sign of fall.

Another fun #fallmigration visitor yesterday, a non-breeding Redwinged Blackbird. I love this look on them. There was more than one, maybe they stick around for a couple of days. #birds #birdsofMastodon #Ostdrossel
The Robin fall bathing championships have started, and there is a lot of competition at even the smallest waterhole. I love watching them, they are so competitive! #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #birdwatching #fallmigration #Ostdrossel
