November 1 for about 20 minutes we had some very special visitors! Evening Grosbeaks! This year there has been an irruption and I was lucky enough to have a small flock visit my feeders. I was really excited and so thankful to be looking out the window when I did.

I also found a beautiful flock of Snow Buntings at Howard Marsh Metropark.

Other highlights include: a giant Chicken of the Woods behind the office, Lucy rolling in poop at the local wildlife area, connecting with an old friend, Thanksgiving Yahtzee over Zoom, and a very late Monarch sighting (November 28)!
