Saturday, October 30: last day

Here's the post for Saturday, October 30:

There was frost on the marsh grass this for the first time (it has been a warm October but colder weather is coming) along with a rather spectacular sunrise, somewhat delayed by the gathering of clouds in the east. There was a Marsh Wren in the phrags, Brown Thrasher and Eastern Towhee in the bushy edges along with a fair collection of sparrows, kinglets, chickadees and goldfinches. Goodbye to all that for now. This is our last day out here for 2010 so this blog will go from almost-daily to once-in-a-while until next spring. Thanks to Eileen Schwinn and the surprisinglly loyal readership of this bird/natural history blog centered on East Quogue and our Weesuck Creek property.

As the Olive-sided Flycatcher said: Cheers!
