A seeming slight lull in migration this morning, another coolish-one. Perhaps the drought is affecting things—well, I’m sure it’s affecting things, but this is only my second fall migration I’ve experienced here in Utah.
The usual suspects, couple chickadees, couple of corvids, bunch of house finches, all that. No yellow-rumps, but I did spy a lovely little White-crowned Sparrow.
Already wondering what tomorrow will bring.
