Hey did you guys notice that since the "upgrade" to blogger, in the old posts the photo's have been resized to the Medium size? At least in mine they have.
This is an extra Post this week! This took place on Friday the 23rd but I wanted to get it in before the months end...so 2 posts this week. I Have another one scheduled for Friday's post.

This week was strange weather wise it got muggy again. Not as bad as summer mind you but it was there...however on Friday (the 23rd) it was lovely so I went to my old standby spot Sandhills. I did a couple of short hikes, and drove to my favorite spots to look for birds, and found a few to report.
There was a lot of geese in 3 different locations around the refuge I was happy to see.

The fall color keeps getting a little better each visit but I did notice a lot of trees have already dropped their leaves while others are still green.
Some Hickory trees show off
One Prairie Warbler came up as Rare on ebird this time of year....I was happy to get a shot of it still not confirmed, while ones without photos were confirmed! Sometimes I think if the reviewer knows you, the outcome is different. Not that it's important really but during these times when so much corruption is going on, do we really need it in ebird too?????
Song Sparrows have begun to show up finally...I have missed their crazy darts for cover, then they creep up to take a look at you...lol

They built a new viewing platform, its not all that new but I just found out how to get to it! This is the same lake that has the photo blind on the other side...I could not see the photo blind that area does not have an opening to view the opposite bank...I Also noticed the wild life camera Make sure you look around before you go behind a bush. Big Brother is watching.
I always enjoy watching Belted King Fisher this one was pretty far out in the pond...but I could hear him as he soared off his perch and made his crazy dives into the water for a meal..
The wild flowers are slowly being replaced with the brown of fall...but still some surprises out there to find...
This park goes through burns regularly. I noticed while hiking many of the charcoal trees look like sculpture. Here's a few I enjoyed looking at...
Mays Lake was so calm good reflections....
Eastern Fence Lizard
The trees had such beautiful light behind this small flock of geese...
The last week of October is here...and then before we know it the year will end...

If I were to do a highlights post of this year Im afraid it would be a dismal read so that is not going to happen...hopefully we will be about celebrating a better year for 2021.
OH and Have a Safe Hallow's Eve..
PEACE
Every day is a new Adventure.
