Fall In
The leaves are turning and the birds are leaving. Well, some of the birds are leaving. The ospreys are off to warmer climates along with the phoebes and monarchs. Thankfully, they love the camera. The very young heron may never leave. It appears to have imprinted.
Awesome Autumn
I love this time of year. The colors of the leaves and birds are especially glorious.
Life is Changing
There are still eagles around, but the north is calling.

Back Home Again
The Croton Train Station osprey got a bath. The red-tailed hawk also got a bath and apparently a small meal. And the Annsville eagle tried to get a meal.

Sparrows in my back yard having a conversation. It is most likely the same conversation they have every day at the feeder.
This guy has been working on this web for days. The spider uses my umbrella, herb pots and pergola posts as anchors. I usually destroy it when I gather my herbs or go down the deck steps.
August Birds
Made it to Croton train station and park at low tide. I also filled in at the Croton Nature Center for a few days. It was very relaxing to finally be able to concentrate on my bird photography after a break.

Birds in Summer
The osprey are fledging. The ducklings are swimming. The black-crowned night heron parent is preening. The gulls are watching.
I can fly!
I can slide!
I can preen!
I can watch!
This is how you get all your ducks in a row.
