| Dawn at the honeypot, Oct 4, 2013 |
With only a little time this morning I made a quick run
through the Honeypot in an unsuccessful attempt to catch up with the Lazuli
Bunting again and try to get some photos.
There were still a few Indigo
Buntings around so perhaps the Lazuli is also still around. It was very early
and I only covered a small area so I’m really not surprised I didn’t find
it. Lots of sparrows around including
four Lincoln’s Sparrows and half a dozen White crowned Sparrows plus other more
typical species. Also had a flyby
American Woodcock at first light and three Black Ducks heading toward the
river.
The tropics have picked up slightly in activity with the
formation last week of TS Jerry way out in the Atlantic and the recent formation of TS
Karen in the Gulf of Mexico. The storm
is forecast to remain a strong tropical storm as it moves north and landfalls
near Alabama/Mississippi. It will
approach hurricane strength but is not suppose to exceed it at this point. The storm will continue to move northeast
after landfall and get absorbed by another system and likely bring some rain to
the northeast by early next week. No real
chance for any major impact here but the heavy rain could force some birds down
depending on timing and other factors.
