Observed several mixed flocks: Audubon's and Myrtle ssp.

A happy bird - found a hard-boiled egg.

First Barred I've seen this winter and because of the choice of perches, I'm believing it's the same owl that was a frequent visitor last year.

Red 2/8

Moving between grassy edge and rock breakwater to forage and keep out of the wind. A rare treat up here!

3rd photo: single Bonaparte's Gull close up as an example of the large flock observed.

Male & female wheel: Noted pale legs, overall red w/no thorax stripes, female tannish based on photo; in addition appeared late in season for Cardinal Meadowhawks.

Sun is out and Monarchs are everywhere.

Awesome visitor to the suet!

1st time out of the box.

Yearling female osprey; distressed with a hurt wing. Swam up to boat and attempted to board. Rescuer assisted us and the osprey is now in rehabilitation.

Several times this heron was successful fishing, while perched on its branch. Fish swallowed before I could snap a photo!
