Today was a beautiful, crisp Fall day at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum in Philadelphia.
It began with a
Black-throated Green Warbler, a bird which should be in Belize by now - and if it does not get a move on soon will become a genetic cul-de-sac. Nevertheless, a feast for the eyes, and a cooperative poser for the cameras of several birders.

Photographic highlights included the elusive elf of the tree trunk -
Brown Creeper.

Waterfowl are still abundant on the impoundment, including the
Ruddy Duck ...

At home in the southeastern corner of Vermont, the
Rusty Blackbird has been a hit or miss bird from year to year. But at Heinz NWR has been likely tick on my year list in the Fall and Spring, as it was today ...
