Are we sure he’s any good, that one barely cleared the fence?

Downside of afternoon baseball, the sun looks equally bad at the game and in my living room. Suppose I could pick a different chair for a few minutes

Got what was essentially a Nigerian prince scam in the mail today, seems an expensive way to run one.

I remembered a game

Nice surprise this morning, what may be the first Red-bellied Tiger Beetle (C. rufiventris) in Boston in 98 years. #invert

Almost nailed what would have been the best #dragonfly picture ever

Walking along a riverfront trail this morning and two things come zooming towards me. One was a chipmunk and one was not. Pretty sure the chipmunk got away after climbing and jumping/falling out of multiple trees.

No idea how well this will post, but took a couple shots of the treetops blindly and wow there's a lot of cicadas. #insects

Many years ago, I went to an Expos game. It was police day so they had a parade on the field pregame, a lot like this. Dogs, horses, cars, they towed a boat, probably would've had a helicopter if it weren't for the dome. Retrosheet says 15408 in attendance, that was better and had a bigger turnout.

Took some time before I crashed after my survey this morning to year list some flycatchers in Boston. Quite successfully.

Trail buddy today

First true naturalist day out in way too long, took a bit of time but our target #dragonflies posed well eventually.

Mood

Time for a stretch!

Perfect CBC weather

Quote with a bird on a sign. Horned Lark isn’t sure if this shot was within the rules or not.

Nice surprise on the CBC today. About ten feet from where we had one seven years ago, which was the only other I've had on a count.

Went back to the tree that I found a Pine Warbler in at the start of the month and there was a Pine Warbler in it. But...

May not be warbler season but this blur was my 5th of the month.

Not done yet #dragonfly

You'd think after an hour of trying, the cormorant would have given up and found a more manageable fish.

Look who I found in a quarry today

Not a great day to be a phantom crane fly either.

Had to double back for this.

This looks uncomfortable

Analyzing photos to see if the Chuck-will's-widow was actually alive when you saw it yesterday is quite the way to be spending my Sunday afternoon.

Not sure if it's waving hello or goodbye, but one of a ridiculous 3 Orange-crowned Warblers today.

Bird of the day I guess

Weird sky to start my October walking "big" day. Started pretty good with lots of Blackpolls moving (would have been interesting to have been out an hour earlier...), but slowed down once it cleared.

Something big to start here: a Swainson’s Hawk (3rd county record?).
