It is the sexy, wind-swept look for this white-throated sparrow.

A Brewer's blackbird showed up yesterday, all by themselves, and has been hanging out with the sparrows.

A little Nashville warbler reaching for some aphids. They should up a few days after all the other warblers departed southwards.

While a lot of the migrants seem to have taken Equinox as their hint to take the long "road" south, with all the warblers seemingly disappearing overnight, a Lincoln sparrow, just recently arrived, is still hanging about.

After a few days' absence, the Orange-crowned warblers showed up again. I had suspected that they already left, but no. This one is eyeing the bounty in the neighbour's Acer. A lot of aphids among other bugs right now.

A White-crowned sparrow stopped over to pose for their portrait today. What a handsome bird!

An ovenbird stopped by - it is now about the time they finally set their sights south. See you next year!

A few yellow-rumped warblers have been coming round the last few days to fatten up before their journey south.
