I’m hoping that things are getting back into a groove where I can put up pictures of raptors on a weekly basis again.

Our birds are getting out some now. The leaves are turning color and falling here. The temperature is falling, too. I’ve been told that “road construction” season will soon be over, giving way to “winter” here in Michigan.

The lighting wasn’t great; we started our walk close to dusk. But Rusty followed us well and paid attention to the dogs, who didn’t find anything for her on this trip.
