There has not been a lot happening on the migration front given strong southerly winds, with the exception of a huge number of Robins and Butter Butts (Yellow-Rumped Warblers) which have been working their way through my yard. The leading edge of fall sparrows and juncos are now using my feeders.

Throughout this week I kept telling myself it was time to go check the Greenwood Boreal Bog and my feeders. My time for leaving each morning is about 40 minutes before sunup. As is often the case I get distracted when I actually get to the car. Driving the Expressway to Two Harbors with the deep orange that comes long before sunrise is both beautiful and calming.

Two Days ago I nixed my trip to Greenwood and just did the Northshore before sunrise. Here are some results.
