Almost Autumn!

I headed over early to Canatara Park yesterday morning, anticipating a nice sunrise and wasn't disappointed! 

During Migration in September, Great Egrets are known to gather in Canatara over night. Since I was in the park before 7:00 a.m., I found a roost before they departed. There are 6 in the picture but you'll have to look carefully to find them all. They are in the open and aren't hiding behind branches.

I returned later in the morning and found pockets of migrating warblers in different areas of the park. Some of the birds even agreed to have their pictures taken!
