The season's a-changing ~ October 18, 2021

The drop in temperature from the 80's on Saturday to the 40's on Monday morning has changed the birding scene. Several skeins of geese, no Killdeer, and some arriving waterfowl and gulls signified a turnover, although the Pectoral Sandpiper continued at the Newburg Road retention pond. A couple Yellow-rumped Warblers worked the nearby trees there.

The Green Pond area produced American Black Ducks, Hooded Mergansers, and a large group of 68 Lesser Black-backed Gulls.


If interested, more photos from the day can be found in my 2021 Notables photo album.
