The sun is slowly creeping over the horizon. I have been up for hours writing and working on stuff.

Time to reward myself with a quick trip outdoors to look for warblers and fall sparrows. We saw the first White-throated Sparrows of the fall season yesterday in two different locations. Plus over the past couple of weeks it has been a veritable warbler extravaganza here on the farm, with the year total reaching fifteen species....much to my excitement...

What will this morning bring? Maybe only common birds...maybe something really cool.
You never know until you go look, so off I go. Talk to you later.

| Cathy, your warbler came to visit...Wilson's Warbler, one of my favorites |
WOW! I am hating these shorting days, but It is to be expected I suppose. Sigh!
ReplyDeleteLinda, same here. I want to go sleep as soon as the sun goes down. Good thing I get up early or I'd never get anything done!
ReplyDeleteThe joy you find in watching for birds is a wonderful thing. I often think that the world would be a much more peaceful place if all folks found their joy in loving the world of nature that surrounds them.
ReplyDeleteJacqueline, I so agree. People are too busy to see what is all around them I think. They miss out on a lot.
