We had a very rare visitor in our backyard today in Forestville, New York (Town of Sheridan). The Northern Wheatear breeds in the high Arctic and migrates to Africa for the winter season. This beauty was apparently thrown off course by recent tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean and made a pit stop to feast on grasshoppers right outside my kitchen window! I'm still in awe of how the bird found the birder late in the day on this magical autumnal equinox.
