It’s that time of year again.
Of particular interest in this video is the comment that peak fall migration for sandhill cranes at this Fish & Wildlife Area now happens 4-6 weeks later than it used to. Why would that be?

Wetlands. Gorgeous, glorious . More of this, please.
Yesterday morning’s rain (a hard mist, really) gave way to a beautiful early-fall afternoon that was a little cooler than expected every time the sun ducked behind some clouds.

After hiking 4.6 miles yesterday in the field, gear and all, I walked only about 1/3 as far today. Yesterday’s priority was general scouting, particularly for bobcats, but today’s was taking a good look at a particular ditch that should have been promising — and it was. Hoping for good time there with a mink, or at least a beaver or muskrat, before the week is out.
Highlights so far, all first of season and all reminders that the seasons are changing:
150-200 American white pelicans
~12 Northern harriers
11 sandhill cranes + 2 others (heard only) in a nearby marsh when the 11 flew over
Tomorrow (Monday 9/28) is supposed to be a rain day pretty much all day. The good news: Conditions for tracking bobcats on Tuesday and Wednesday are about to improve dramatically over the bone-dry conditions that are here right now.
