Every fall weekend bears a bite of bittersweet wonder around here. The thrill of a wave of migrants also brings a pang of worry that these may be the last songbirds we see for a while. No worries, though, as long as the next season brings its own suite of specialties. Plus, fall has a lot more to offer all of us.
I finally tracked down Black-bellied Plover, a shorebird species that had been eluding me for the county for years, plus a bonus bird in the form of a very infrequent Forster’s Tern hobnobbing with the usual Caspians. Corey got out looking for birds a whole bunch this weekend. And while all birds are awesome he didn’t find any especially awesome birds. Of the species he did see, the young Little Blue Heron that has been around at Meadow Lake for weeks was the one he most enjoyed, so it is his Best Bird of the Weekend.
