Highly variable weather in Erie County, Pennsylvania over the weekend. Warm and windy with hazy sunshine Saturday morning, followed by heavy rain and dropping temps in the afternoon. Cold and mostly sunny Sunday. Cold again overnight, turning cloudy, with on/off light snow (!) this morning. Despite the conditions, happy to report sightings of Palm Warbler, Yellow Warbler, and Pine Warbler, w/ ‘re-sightings’ of Yellow-rumped Warbler and Blue-headed Vireo. These shots from Saturday at Leo’s Landing at Presque Isle State Park, in moderate to heavy rain. (Thank you, Nikon camera equipment weatherproofing.)
Finally, three shots in chronological order of a Ruby-crowned Kinglet shaking off the rain:
Weather expected to be cold again tonight, but back to normal the rest of the week. Happy birding!
