Lousy phonescope photo of a great bird. Lots of twitchers today in Vesprém to see Hungary's first ever Desert Wheatear (Oenanthe deserti). First record but a vagrant that has been overdue. #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #wheatears #FallMigration2026

One more for #WaderWednesday A cute little Dunlin (Calidris alpina). Strictly a passage bird in Hungary, heading to the Mediterranean Basin and North Africa for the winter. #BirdingHungary #FallMigration2026 #shorebirds #waders #sandpipers

Short video of the Buff-breasted Sandpiper. #WaderWednesday #shorebirds #waders #sandpipers #BirdingHungary #FallMigration2026

Speaking of common birds, here's that bundle of twitchiness and constant motion known as a White Wagtail (Motacilla alba). This is a juvenile. Over the past month, billions have been moving through... anywhere where there is little bit of water. #BirdingHungary #wagtails #FallMigration2026

Dutchess NY: Cape May Warbler in my front yard while it was raining this past Sunday 9/20/2026. #capemaywarbler #capemay #warblers #birdwatching #fallmigration2026 #wildlife

So many Ruddy Turnstones (Arenaria interpres) around this fall migration. Much more than usual, although still uncommon. Probably because so much habitat on the larger lakes and rivers, a consequence of the extended drought during the summer. #BirdingHungary #waders #shorebirds #FallMigration2026

Dutchess NY: This past Sunday 9/20/2026 rained heavily all day. 2 waves of Warblers & Hummingbirds passed through my property, creating a spectacular show. Here is a Northern Parula in the rain in my front yard. #northernparula #parula #birds #birdwatching #fallmigration2026

Dutchess NY, saw this Ovenbird up my hill this past Sunday, rain, rain, rain… He caught a moth late in the evening & hiding under a bush eating it; I almost couldn’t see him in the darkness! #ovenbird #birds #birdwatching #wildlife #fallmigration2026

Dutchess NY, my front yard: just a few more pictures of the Red-eyed Vireo from the previous weekend. #redeyedvireo #vireos #birds #birdwatching #wildlife #fallmigration2026

Dutchess County NY, a few more pictures of the Blackburnian Warbler by my pond. I am so very happy I didn’t need to leave my house to go see these birds! #blackburnianwarbler #fallmigration2026 #warblers #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

Dutchess County NY, a few pictures of the Blackburnian Warbler by my pond. If I remember correctly I think this is the first Blackburnian showed up in my property, same as the Hooded. #blackburnianwarbler #fallmigration2026 #warblers #birds #birdwatching #wildlife

Dutchess NY, outside my driveway during the rain on Sunday 9/20/2026: My first Dark-eyed Junco for this Fall migration, but this one looks much darker than the ones I had seen before. Slate-colored perhaps? #darkeyedjunco #juncos #birds #birdwatching #wildlife #fallmigration2026
