Albatrossity
By the time you are reading this, it will definitely be well into fall, or even winter, weather. We got our first hard freeze here in Flyover Country on 10/17/22, and winter’s monotone colors will be here soon enough. Our winter hawks are trickling in, and I can report that Harley checked in, for his tenth winter here in Kansas, on October 25 this year. But this week’s images still have some fall colors and critters; I hope you enjoy them!
Fall warbler migration in my part of the country is pretty “meh”. Diversity is low (4-5 warbler species in a morning is a dang good morning), and most fall warblers are not super colorful anyway. But I did add one new warbler to the yard list this season. This Blackburnian Warbler (Setophaga fusca) showed up at the bird bath when I happened to be glancing out the window, and spent the next hour or so foraging in our walnut and locust trees. I’ve seen this species exactly once before in the state, so it was a real treat to have one in the backyard! Click for larger image.
