Morning all,
The cold seems to have kept bird activity rather low this morning, but I did manage a late Yellow-billed Cuckoo, flying around in the corner, landing in the woods, then flying away again to the east-southeast. A Brown Creeper put in an appearance, my FOS here, and Pileated Woodpeckers are now more in evidence, with sightings almost daily now. Blue Jay numbers are tapering off, and Northern Flickers seem to have reached a peak.

The air feels decidedly fall-like today!
