Despite a return to cooler seasonal temperatures, the forecast Monday-night snow failed to materialize in Erie County, PA; looks like another nice-ish, chilly day. (Regional weather maps show the ‘big storm’ tracking well east of western Pennsylvania.) Lake Erie and Presque Isle Bay currently completely unfrozen.
Anecdotally, lots of seasonal bird activity in Millcreek Twp (“Gateway to Presque Isle”) yesterday – American Crow, European Starling, Pileated Woodpecker, Red-tailed Hawk, Eastern Bluebird, etc. These recent shots of American Robin x Mourning Dove:
Coming up soon, Eastern Bluebird! (Finally!)
Those birds were really checking out the Team Leader! Their thoughts: “Why is that guy always staring at us??”
