Grayscale Is Not Just A Disease In Westeros

Yesterday was basically the same as the one before that out here on the Island.  Poor weather and no birds.  It is still very exciting to be back.  It feels very much like home.

Quiz Bird.

I might start a series titled:  PIGUs carrying stuff.  This would be my 2nd entry.

From Carolina To Farallonia

It sunk in that I was really back here during my first hike up to the lighthouse.  The weather isn't great, so there aren't really any migrants here, but the breeders are mostly still hanging around.  That's always fun.  Hecka fish being carried around to various burrows and hungry mouths.

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.
