Departing the roost at dawn:
This Red-eyed Vireo responded to a House Wren that was all riled up.
I was surprised to see an "interesting" goose this early down here this morning!
Here's a second shot of the bird.
And finally here's a Blackpoll Warbler from this afternoon (one of eight warbler species including my second NOPA of the fall and continuing NOWA). BHVI was also a first of the fall today.
Other recent yardbirds include a Red-breasted Nuthatch that briefly touched down in a Boxelder on Monday morning and a White-breasted Nuthatch this afternoon working the Cottonwoods along the wetland (wandering young of the year or migrant??).

That's a sharp lookin' REVI...they're looking good this time of year!
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with the ILL Boys and their September SNGOs?
We have several things going for us: good optics, stellar habitat for Chen, and an amazing amount of free time available to bird with! Honestly though, it's pretty impressive that we both found our own different SNGO in Chicagoland this early.
