Finally, No Fog

Finally, a morning devoid of fog. Winds have shifted and brought back clear skies as new front pushes down from the North. For now, that means a bit more wind and less humidity.

This season has seen very few thrushes. no Swanson's at all for the first time ever. Just when we were worrying about them, we recaptured two Hermit Thrush during the morning.



Most of our juvenile Carolina Wrens that get recaptured nearly every week are now back in the woods, so it was nice to get a new youngster this day.



Gray Catbirds were very active today, almost restless. They made up the bulk of our birds today. All juveniles.



We ended the day with a male Northern Cardinal.



Still searching for Winter birds. Most seem lacking all over the state. A few Myrtle Warblers would make the weekend more fun. Where are the Cedar Waxwings?
