Note that while you can continue to donate if you wish, any donations received at this point won't get a bird drawn. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed this year! I'll post the total with today's bird.

The first Palm Warbler I've seen this Fall. These birds wag their tails, which can be quite helpful in identifying them.

A Sandhill Crane calls at other Sandhill Cranes that are passing by overhead. I can tell this a male as they throw their head back 90 degrees while calling, while the females throw their heads back 45 degrees.

The charismatic Coppersmith Barbet for datubooty on tumblr! Thank you for the donation! 🎨🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt The #Waymakers Challenge raises funds for @theyoungcenter.bsky.social to help immigrant kids in the US! Donate by Sept. 30 - only a few days left! youngcenter.donordrive.com/campaigns/Bi...

Illustration of a Coppersmith Barbet, a large-headed, large-billed bird with a clown-like face pattern of red, black, and yellow. The bird otherwise is mostly green with spots of turquoise on the nape and wings. It is perched with its back to us on the branch of a fig tree, and has a piece of fig fruit in its beak - likely torn from the broken fruit on the top of a cluster to the bird's right.

Illustration of a Luzon Bleeding-heart, a dove with a patch of deep red feathers in the center of the breast that look as though the bird has a bleeding wound. Otherwise its cap is gray, throat is white, lower belly is orange, and the wings are barred blue-gray and black. It is perched on a mossy log amidst lush green, implying a tropical jungle.

my camera + lens is actually decent at capturing nice crisp feather detail... provided the bird is stationary and less than 10 feet away. 🪶

Three ducks float in blue water, their front halves are dark and their back halves light. They have round yellow eyes and are very handsome.

"Power Stance" Carolina Wren, 5"x7" oil on panel, 2023. The range of these wrens has extended northward in the last few decades, so I get to enjoy them locally now, and I love everything about them. Very beautiful, very powerful.🪶

An oil painting of a Carolina wren. This small rounded bird has a proportionally large beak, face, and feet, with an expressive short tail. Its colors are rusty brown facial stripes, back, wings, and tail, and yellow-tan on the chest, cream facial markings, and barring on the wings and tail. It is standing with a wide stance on a rock, chest to the viewer, head pointing right, with strong backlighting. The watermark reads: copyright 2023 Jennifer Miller "Nambroth" featherdust.com

I saw my first Fall flock of Yellow-rumped Warblers this weekend. They signal the end of Fall warbler migration as they are some of the last warblers to head south. A few of them overwinter here in Michigan, surviving through the cold months by eating berries.

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights** Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight.

From meteorologist Eric Snitil

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights**

"Heads up birders, I would not be surprised if the biggest bird migration night of the year happens over the next 2 nights. Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight. That is a lot, but the pattern could not be better for migratory birds. A massive area of high pressure will turn the low level winds from the northeast to the southwest across most of the US. The last time we had anything similar to this in the fall was early October last year when a record 1.25 billion birds were in flight. I doubt we get to that level, but I suspect the number will top 500 million especially Monday night which looks to be the bigger of the two nights. You can help by turning off those outdoor lights on big migration nights, and the next 2 nights is about as big as it gets."

A Black-capped Chickadee checking out the Poison Ivy bush. The berries are bad for humans (no surprise there) but are perfectly fine for birds. Birds' immune systems don't react to urushiol, the sap that triggers the allergic reaction in people.
