Big spots, small spots. Spots everywhere. A Norther flicker is my contribution to #Spotted and #BirdOfTheDay.

A Northern Flicker perched on a thick branch. It has a spotted belly and a black crescent bib on its chest and red patch on the back of its head. The black facial stripe under its bill indicates this is a male.

Not all migrating birds are warblers. Here are three sparrows passing through to warmer wintering grounds. IDs in alt text.

A lucky find in October: a chestnut-sided warbler. Peak southward migration for this bird (from Michigan USA) is September.
