Oct 10th, we are on our little getaway to Chincoteague Island NWR in Virginia. It is one of my favorite places to visit. We love the beach, all the birds and the Chincoteague ponies. We started the day with the sunrise at the beach and ended the day with the sunset over Tom's Cove.

I am sharing a mish mash of photos, birds from my back yard and my Prettyboy neighborhood and the lake.
1. Oct 15th, another walk to the lake, we were seeing more fall colors, the usual Great Blue Herons hanging out in the favorite spots and the same with Belted Kingfishers. What I thought were Solitary Sandpipers could be the Lesser Yellowlegs.
Click on photos for better viewing!
2. Same day as above, there were at least 3 Great Blue Herons, each having their favorite spots to fish.
3. Oct 16th, a Bald Eagle perched on a small stick was which in the middle of the lake, the Great Blue Heron and Belted Kingfisher hanging out in the same area as the day before.
4. Oct 18th , our walk on a Parkton section of the NCR Bike trail, I saw the Yellow-belled Sapsucker, Eastern Bluebird, a White-tailed Deer, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and a Downy Woodpecker.
6. On the same day, back at home the Cardinal takes a turn knocking on our front window.
7. Oct 19th , our walk was to the back section of our lake. I saw at least 4 of the Lesser Yellowlegs. Also high in a tree were two American Goldfinches.
8. I was able to catch the 4 Lesser Yellowlegs in one shot, foraging along the lakeshore.
9. This photo is a little better with two of the Lesser Yellowlegs.
10. With the lake level down so low now, we are able to walk along the lake shore, a fishing boat was seen across the lake from where we walked.
At this time in our neighborhood, the fall colors and trees were looking beautiful.
