Early Autumn Walk

We walked along the pedestrian-bicycle path in Gallup Park.
It's a warm day and many people were cycling and walking, most with masks.
The fall birds don't seem to have arrived here, but the common summer
red-winged blackbirds left several weeks ago.
A goldfinch preening.
Feathers!

Hello Mae.

It's great to be able to travel outside the house and be able to find sights of human and bird activity ...

Have a nice weekend.
Greetings from Indonesia.

You live in a beautiful area, Mae. It looks like you had an incredible walk. Every image is wonderful, except I'm not fond of wasps!

That's a very impressive wasp nest. Glad I'm not too close to it though.

I never see goldfinches here, or I should say very rarely. How sweet to get such good photos! Red-winged blackbirds are another bird I only ever see out away from the city but never here on my little patio.

Wow, what a wasp nest! You did find some finds on your walk :)

That's a very impressive wasp nest - I think I never saw one like that. Amazing and very beautiful.

I love biking on trails but it's too hot and humid where I live to walk. Most of our bike/walking trails are shaded by trees. Love the photos!
