What were your highlights for October Big Day? 🪶
I spent most of my day on the sandy eastern shore of Lake Ontario where a flock of Black-bellied Plovers and two Hudsonian Godwits (pictured) spent the day foraging the mud and sand flats.

I managed to capture my favorite Marsh Wren pose last week at my patch. There is something hilarious about their refusal to perch using just one stalk. #birding

Does anyone use the Merlin Bird ID app? It's free. It's pretty neat. 7 different birds singing right out my front door. Have a toke and get to know some avian friends.
If you download this app make sure you have wifi and some time to download. There's "packages" that are big files you need to get.🌲

It’s that time of year again! Overall, the finch forecast is looking pretty muted, with ample food across the boreal meaning no major pushes of finches expected. However, Red Crossbill types 2, 3, and 4 seem to be pushing into the northeast…

Maybe heading north to NY?
Sad chapter to the story of the incredible Pennsylvania flamingos. Hopefully the injured one thrives and is released somewhere they feel comfortable! 🪶
Pa. flamingo flies the coop, leaving injured mate behind: report
One of two flamingos that were living on a pond in Franklin County, Pa., has left while its mate continues to recover at a rescue in Philadelphia.

How it started… How it’s going…
When we visited our cabin in north central Pennsylvania in early July, the spongy moths were everywhere and had eaten nearly all deciduous leaves. Returning in mid September, many trees had regrown leaves. I had no idea they would do that! Amazing.
