Signs of Fall at the Cottage

Sept 02, 2013

Barbara heard a warbler up the road, so went to investigate.  The fall warblers are notoriously difficult to identify, and this guy was no exception.  But after consulting a number of field guides, we believe that it is a Yellow-rumped Warbler, a common migrant.

 

An uncommon sighting was a Common loon in fall plumage.  Sept 02 is too early, so we theorize that this is a non-breeding individual that was passing through.
