Dateline: 4 September 2022 – Weekend Update, Part I
Mixed bag this weekend for Erie weather. Mostly sunny and warm on Friday. Partially cloudy, mild/warm, humid Saturday. Sunday, cloudy, mild/warm, and extremely humid. Light rain in the afternoon, then light-to-moderate rain overnight. Cloudy, mild, very humid, and unsettled Monday, with on-and-off rain – enough of a dry window for bird photography before heavy rain moved in over Presque Isle State Park by 2:30PM or thereabouts.
Bird activity fairly subdued on Sunday and with the heavy rain Monday afternoon, otherwise reasonably active. Thick end-of-summer foliage = tough conditions for warbler viewing.
Some shots of Northern Flicker on Sunday, along the Long Pond fishing access trail. Usually skittish, so lucky here to get a close-up view.
Stay tuned this week for lots more greater western Pennsylvania bird content from the long weekend! More bird!
