I realize I haven't TPADed in the last few days. Tonight will be a 6PAD. This is a pretty rare event. I wil start with Carolinas and finish here. On South East Farallon Island (SEFI). My one true home.
Forgot to tell y'all I seen gators down there. |
Halloween Pennants, Caw Caw. |
Apparently this is my only Mississippi Kite photo. |
Now we are on the Farallones. PIGU eating a Gunnel. |
Least Sandpiper, one of the few migrants I saw today. |
Elephant Seal cow and Brown-headed Cowbird, pondering each other. |
Why do I feel that it's a HOFI?? I'm not sure I know the answer...

Cowbirds have a much more Icterid bill (sharper).
