Yesterday was a good day at our local hawk count watch, over 8,000 raptors in flight with the first Rough-legged Hawks coming through.

Nashville warbler eating seeds from my Joe Pye weed. It was after sunset so the picture is grainy but I feel lucky to have seen it! #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #warbler #FallMigration

A small bird with a gray head and a bright white eye ring, yellow breast and olive green back a little darker on the wings. It is perched in a light lavender/magenta Joe Pye weed inflorescence and is eying the camera in an annoyed way. Poor thing probably just flew hundreds of miles and people won't leave it alone!

Pagan Community Notes for Oct 2, 2025:

In this week’s Pagan Community Notes: South Florida Pagan Pride shines with a successful gathering, ATC Matriarch Belladonna LaVeau shares a message, Cherry Hill Seminary announces it will begin offering ordinations, Star offers her Tarot of the Week, and (careful broom riders!) the fall migration fills the skies with birds on the move.

The American Pipits (Anthus rubescens) rooting in the muck. Arriving from the Arctic, they always have a stopover for a few days or weeks to rest and feed in this beaver pond.
A sign of fall.

A small songbird, pale brown with a brown streaked breast. It is looking for food in the wet mud of a pond.

About 100 Canada Geese high up in the sky taking advantage of northerly winds today.

all-yellow bird with dark eye, in flight with a berry-laden leafy shrub in the background

Another fun #fallmigration visitor yesterday, a non-breeding Redwinged Blackbird. I love this look on them. There was more than one, maybe they stick around for a couple of days. #birds #birdsofMastodon #Ostdrossel

The Robin fall bathing championships have started, and there is a lot of competition at even the smallest waterhole. I love watching them, they are so competitive! #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #birdwatching #fallmigration #Ostdrossel

The bathing quandaries of a Hermit Thrush... A lovely #fallmigration visitor. Too bad that the lens was splashed but thankfully he was aware and jumped right in front 😁 I love these cinnamony cuties! I only see them very rarely. #birds #BirdsOfMastodon #nature #birdwatching #Ostdrossel

plain yellow/olive bird with a white line running above the eye (Black-throated Blue Warbler, immature or female) stands on a thin branch among handing deciduous leaves.

a small stocky bird with blue back, white belly and black face/neck/underwings (Black-throated Blue Warbler, male) stands on a pine branch

a drab brown bird with dramatic black eye-liner (juvenile Cedar Waxwing) sits at the tip of a berrying tree branch

a small bird with gray head and yellow wingbar, chest and back wash (American Redstart, female or immature) standing among fallen leaves, beak open in vocalization

Wilson’s Warbler. These cuties are common Texas migrants in the fall and one of my favorites to see. Fun fact: there are 46 species of warblers that regularly occur in Texas during migrations. #birding #birds #BirdsOfTexas #warblers #FallMigration

A Wilson’s Warbler on a branch of a willow tree. The very cute and tiny warbler is yellow underneath and on its face with a greenish back and a black cap on its head

A fun visitor arrived yesterday, a lone Robin. Today, I also saw one lone Grackle. Maybe there will be some fall migration sightings in this backyard after all. It is a weird fall, it is colder but the trees are not there yet, they are still all green! Calendars are still on the hold (except for desk ones) but I hope to get them all out by the end of the week.⁠

An American Robin is skeptically checking out the offerings. Lovely eyebrow game.

An American Robin is looking at the camera, kind of skeptically as well. Showing off nice markings on the throat.

Yeah, now the Robin is staring directly at your soul. Don't stare" Just admire <3

This lovely northern harrier was on its way to its wintering grounds. Safe travels, dear friend!

#SilentSunday southbound Sandhill Cranes, kettling upwards in a spiral on a thermal. (nb they weren't actually silent) #nevadacountyca #fallmigration #birdphotography

A flock of 38 broad-winged, long-necked cranes overhead appear to be flying in different directions. They're actually spiraling upward on a thermal wind current.

At the Shakespeare Garden, there were a few birders patiently waiting for #RubyThroatedHummingbirds to show up, and I was happy to snap a mediocre photo of this beautiful birbette.

But I also had a great view of an #ArburCork tree that had a few nice borbs, including a #YellowBelliedFlycatcher and a #capemaywarbler

OK, just for fun, let's do reverse chronological order. It sometimes happens that the last #borb you see is the most special. Well, that's very subjective, but that's what happened today.

At the end of the afternoon, after spending some time with some super expert birders on a raptor watch at Belvedere Castle, I strolled along the south path of the Turtle Pond and found, much to my surprise, a #Blackburnian #Warbler.
