[cobirds] Bryan's wind map, & an accidental

What a beautiful map! Thanks for posting that link. Unfortunately, I get the digest so am always a day late at pondering these things.

However the weather explains why this morning, weeks after most songbirds have dispersed from the yard, I heard an oriole. Not for long, but that scold a bit of song are unmistakeable.

Local Blue Grosbeaks, bless their hearts, are the only late-summer singers now. The wrens still usher their last brood around, but the Eastern Kingbirds, also late leavers, are gone.

Late summer is beautiful, but so silent.
