The past week has been coolish in the early mornings, the kind of weather that always signals the beginning of the migratory warbler flow through River Park North in Greenville NC. I visited the park a couple of times last week by myself and then on Sunday was able to hook up with the annual fall bird walk with the River Park North Bird Club. The walk was led by Howard Vainright, current Club President and the just recently retired 25 year Director of River Park. No one knows the park like Howard and with his vast bird knowledge, it was assured that we would have a good experience. It was misting rain at 8AM and only a few of us brave (diehard, foolish??) birders showed up. In spite of the weather, we saw a good many birds, both park residents as well as migrating warblers, and by 10AM, the sun was peeking through the clouds.
During all three of my visits to the park, the sky has been cloudy and not really helpful to my photo efforts, but I did manage to get a few shots of a mix of resident birds and a few migrators-- see pics below---
