Birding Memories: Morgan Arboretum, September 9, 2011

Feel the warm breeze

American Red Squirrel Tamiasciurus hudsonicus

Black-capped Chickadee Poecile atricapillus (looks similar to the Marsh Tits I saw in Korea)

Northern Green Frog Rama clamitans - very lethargic

After a gentle prod - no, it's not dead.

Turkey Vulture Cathartes aura - They've been moving north

Common Garter Snake Thamnophis sirtalis

Eastern Chipmunk Tamias striatus

  Because it is so hellishly cold, here are some nice warm memories of an Arbo trip that now seems like a long time ago. That balmy day saw a fun mix of birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals.
