Bird snuggling.

Put this under this thread as I didn't want to start a new one.

Is this real?  Too cute for words, but is it real?

Thanks to Carol and Kathy O and MAK if you are all out there reporting what you see!    Mark B said he saw one of the Pefas attacking crow today before returning to NB.  Any pics B captured while at the NB today?

So cute. Thank you to whomever posted!  In my next life i want to come back and work for Google!    :-)

Thanks, BF, for the pics of Q and K.  And our Quest still has her transmitter on!  Got to love that Mexican RED nailpolish!     

It's supposed to get to 54 by Wednesday...

 

Just looking at your pictures, Ei, and lots of leaves on the trees.  Do you have many downed trees and power outages?    This is truly a freak event!   Hope all is well .  Sunny and 60 up here!   :-)

WOW, you downstaters and NJ'ers  (is that a word?)  are having weird weather for sure!   Talked to a friend who lives up here in upstate NY and her brother in NJ had four inches of snow on the ground today!   My sisters on LI were freaking out this morning about the prospect of snow in October.     We "hardy" people in upstate Siberia are basking in glorious 37 degree temps but no snow!    We have had snow in previous years on Halloween, but not this year!   
Donna, did you post this video of snow three years ago?

Very cold for them this year compared to last years temps of 59 degrees.

Nice report. I enjoyed reading it.  Even though it was published in a Long Boat Key, Florida paper, it is about  migration observed from Fire Island -- a barrier beach across from Long Island, NY.  Best beach in the world!  Makes me want to move back to LI just to watch the migration and shore birds.  Love them all. And yes it is cold!   I just heard on the news that a Halloween storm may bring up to six inches of snow to NYC and Boston!   WOW!   Snow on Halloween is weird up here, but in NYC -- unheard of!     It sounds like a coastal storm..Donna, do you have snow forecast for NJ?

Welcome home, MAK!  Stay warm and don't go out chasing falcons before you are supposed to!  Stay Warm!

So good to hear that Beauty is still around, even if we don't see her on camera.  Thank you, Carol!
I hope she is here all winter, and I do hope Mr. T returns.  How long has it been since a last view of Archer? 
He left a little late, but I do believe he left . 

Good news, MAK!   

Hi Rhea Mae!

WOW.  Doesn't look real...I'm sure it is  (real).   Looks prehistoric, but majestic! 

Such good news and good pics from today's action.  And  thanks Donna for catching the shots, and to Kat for the updates about them circling around.     Kendal and Quest are taking their time... but it's so good to see them. 

YAYYY!! Hope it was a falcon fly-by for you, MAK!   Keep looking, and keep smiling to the skies!
