That sounds right. Peak migration is end of November but lots of them have already left.

Happy to see some American Wigeons, in our local park, yesterday! Not sure if these ones will be staying but we always have some that hang around through the winter! Here's a sweet female and her reflection. #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Foggy morning hike through twisted oak trees.

Black and white image of oak trees growing on the hills. The fog gives more dimension by creating layers of visibility and contrast of the twisted and tangled branches. In the foreground is prickly brush. M trail on Cerro San Luis in San Luis Obispo, California

I did sort of consider a similar scenario. 😁

I like it when they show their rump! 😁

Thanks! This was the ONLY time I saw one that wasn’t swimming. And soon after this, he was back in the water.

Yeah, that works….if there is time. For me, there usually isn’t! 😁

The biggest flock of migrating SHCs will be about 90 miles south of us near the end of November. I’m assuming some of those will end up with you!

First sighting of the season!

Yellow-rumped #warbler at one of the birdbaths in my backyard
Look at how that #bird is rumped!😲
(You can actually see #yellow)

"Rumped" is not a word. I think because "to rump" is not a verb. Besides, a lot of the time, like most of the time, you can't even see the rump.

Fantastic! I love a yellow-rumped warbler! I didn’t get any this year but I had fun with this little one last year. #birds 🪶

Unsuspecting yellow-rumped #warbler got too close

Hadn't been here for like 8 - 9 months, so probably forgot

You cannot see the rump in this photo. You will just need to take my word for it.
