There has been a clear-out of birds in my area over this day and last night.  The shorebird count at Sandy Cove's beach is way down. There are less warblers everywhere and even the American Robins are starting to get restless as they begin to bunch up and move about in larger and larger flocks.

We're entering that time of year when there are less birds but more rarities and excitement.  The Ipswich Sparrow this afternoon was the first fall arrival at the Duncan Reef way stop.  When birds round Chebucto Head and turn towards the south-eastern coast and then find themselves facing powerful south-western winds they stop at Duncan Reef and Duncan's Cove for R&R, rather than to fight the wind.

I've added 19 new photos to my websites, nothing rare, but each bird photograph is a challenge and always rewarding when things come together and the birds pose in good light, ....and Hans has not messed up his camera settings.
