Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Sunflower seed from a bird feeder. Wasp! From foraging in the ground litter.

Dipping into an elevated watering hole.

Oh, hello! That’s one of yesterday’s post’s Red-shouldered Hawks in the background.

I’ve had three sightings of juvenile Red-shouldered Hawk this fall. On Saturday, I saw a pair of adults, pictured above and below, circling overhead at the same time.

Lots of Canada Geese were moving southwesterly this past weekend.

Rob Jett, who has been blogging about Brooklyn nature even longer than I have, pointed out these two winter roosting holes our visiting Red-head Woodpecker has excavated in the same tree.

Unusually for our parts, a juvenile Red-headed Woodpecker/Melanerpes erythrocephalus has taken up residence in Green-Wood. There’s a good bit of red already in this bird’s head, but a lot more is to come.
