Jordan Lake: I wanted a photo for the first day of Autumn. The weather was not cooperating. I had about given up when there was a small gap in all of the clouds and some of the rain and the wind trailed off. I watched this Pine Warbler do a tumble off of a branch and quickly dash after an insect to eat. Then the clouds let go of the rain and I made a soggy trip home. The glimpse of the pine warbler was a great start to Autumn and I quickly dried off as I sat down to share the warbler with all of you.

Jordan Lake, August 10, 2021. Doc Ellen‘s Natural Minute. It is a Minute of watching the parent chipping sparrow – that’s the bird on the left – gathering up insects to feed to his chick – it’s on the right. The parent is very vigorous and very good at catching the insects and promptly feeding his offspring. The baby tries to catch an insect a couple of times. Then the parent dashes off to look for insects elsewhere. The fledgling says well I guess I better go back to trying on my own before it decides maybe it’s easier food to go find the parent. Enjoy the breakfast of the chipping sparrows this morning! Take care, be safe. Stay well.
