3rd Aug - mostly cloudy, humid at times, 23C, light NW

Willey;

A Common Redstart top fence line again, 0815h.  Also three Mistle Thrushes on the pasture.

I did not find the Black Redstart early, until just as I was leaving when it appeared briefly in the garden and then on the roof,  and I managed a record photo.  Then about 1730h I saw it again in the farm yard before disappearing and I managed another record photo.   A 1st winter I.d say.


1730h                                                                    0730h
lightly 'cropped' photos
