Regular as clockwork, our winter birds returned to the backyard in the first weeks of October. The post-Idalia Painted Bunting didn’t stick around, but now his friends are here to stay. The Palm Warblers are shaking their tails on the lawn, the Gray Catbirds are meowing for beautyberries, and a Ruby-throated Hummingbird nectars from my honeysuckle. I’m still loving my Blink birdcam, and as the temperatures continue to drop, it will be time for the Beast to make a comeback!
