Birding - October 21-26, 2020
Saturday, I went to The Coves to see what I can find. There was a large movement of American Crows (hundreds) flying over...some very high. It was a cool morning after yesterday's warm temperatures feeling like 25c. We had thunderstorms and high winds in the evening. This morning it was only 3c.
I saw one Great Blue Heron trying to keep warm.
There were flocks of Cedar Waxwings eating berries along with American Robins.
It was nice to see a Blue-headed Vireo. The vireo was moving around a lot from branch to branch.
I was taking photos and when I turned around there was a large racoon on the trail in front of me.
It walked toward me a little then went into the bushes. So I walked by and looking back, the racoon came back out and continued to walk the trail.
I continued to walk when I noticed the racoon turned around and decided to walk behind me. I walked faster to get ahead. It was walking slower and probably went back into the bushes.
I decided to go the Greenway Park and saw a Greater Yellowlegs resting in the river beside the Mallards, Canada Geese and Wood Ducks.

An overcast, cold, damp day today (4-5c)
There were flocks of American Goldfinches, Starlings and American Robins flying around eating berries.
My photos are not great because of the overcast skies.
A resting Red-tailed Hawk.
