We found our first Northern Shrike of the season on Saturday.  He was hanging out along a rural Middlesex County Road.

A couple of dark-phase, Rough-legged Hawks were spotted soaring across the fields....

And a Red-tailed hawk was hunting for his supper.

Earlier in the day, 15 Sandhill Cranes flew over the beach parking lot at Canatara Park.

During a morning walk today near Petrolia, we found 5 Yellow-rumped warblers!  They, along with some nearby Hermit Thrush, need to start thinking seriously about migration!

Black-capped Chickadees were grabbing seed that had fallen from our hands.

A Red-bellied Woodpecker was finding lots of snacks under the feeders at a camp site.

Daylight ended with a beautiful sunset in Middlesex County last evening.
