The change in the weather promised more than it delivered. Several species have all but disappeared (American Goldfinch, Royal Tern) while others (Robins, Catbirds) are down in numbers. On the other hand, the northeast winds delivered a few birds -- Belted Kingfisher, several Eastern Phoebes and some raptors (Red-tailed Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, Merlin).
Seaside Goldenrod is at or near its peak flowering but, except for the many bees nectaring at the flowers, there are surprisingly few insects and almost no Monarch Butterflies. We'll see what the morrow will bring.
