My kitchen, about this time last year. Was in a nest of damp bread crumbs among some farm crops - sweet potatoes, carrot, green beans, etc. Sorry, I didn't hear a song or call. Hung around for a couple of days; maybe a late fall migrant? I hope everybody has a happy, safe holiday, even you Canadians who've already jumped the gun!

Here are several birds from a trip to Jekyll Island, GA last week: Lifer Saltmarsh Sparrow, Clapper Rail, Roseate Spoonbill, Peregrine Falcon, and a banded Black Skimmer. The Black Skimmer was banded on 7-8-19 as a chick before it could fly, at the south end of Wrightsville Beach, NC. It was seen from that fall through the spring on Tybee Island, GA. Then it was at Pea Island NWR, on the Outer Banks of NC in July this year. Now it is heading south for the winter

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate this website and forum , and how wonderful it is to find such a nice, neutral, friendly, and informative online oasis of knowledge and experience (increasingly rare in this day and age with any topic of interest it seems to me). This place appears to me as being a truly lovely medley of amateurs and experts (and everyone in between) engaged in a symbiotic quest towards mutual understanding and respect for knowledge about birds. I hope that everyone who reads this has an amazing day, and to those who have helped out along the way with my fled

American Tree Sparrow - I think they are a very nice looking bird.

Why did you have to pick one of the most difficult to draw birds?! It IS a good subject to draw when practicing proportions, though. Here's mine:

Nelsons Sparrow

A very sleepy juvenile - could hardly lift its head.

Tufted Titmouse from this afternoon.

Lapland Longspur today - county bird!

I can't seem to figure this one out, but I'd guess Savannah Sparrow. Maybe someone can straighten me out.

White-rumped Sandpiper from today.

In twenty years I have never seen a hawk in my neighbourhood (urban with small lots) but came home today to find this on my deck. About eight feet away - managed to open the patio door but still shooting through a screen so not the best.

My best ever photo of a ruby crowned kinglet.

Common Redpoll today.

When I saw this bird, I thought it was an immature Ibis. It wasn't until I was going through my pictures that I realized it was a Limpkin. Much more interesting bird and a first for me!

Bufflehead in Huntington Beach CA several days ago.

Townsend's Warbler today on the suet.

American White Pelican yesterday at Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, Huntington Beach CA
