2025 Birding Journal Observations - September / October

Cardinal over Downy woodpecker on Nov. 2
Dry weather has been a theme for September and October, enough to cause most counties to drift into incipient drought, with some relief coming Mid-October due to a coastal rainfall event. Mild temperatures have eased the Lowcountry into Fall, and the dry conditions and lower temps have caused fall foliage to accelerate into red and yellow colors. The colors at the birds feeders have been depleted somewhat due to fall migration leaving the red of cardinals and the blue of jays in control. My ruby-throated hummingbirds left mid-October but in a nice surprise I have kept regular visits from two green painted buntings, with the most recent sighting the morning of November 2. Will they stay all winter?? We shall see.....
