They come back to east central Illinois every winter so far no irruptions needed. Only irruptions I have experienced are the Pine Siskins a couple years ago. At times we had several hundred at our feeders and they were so hungry I could get them to easily eat out of both hands with no fear (they were competing to land on my hands even let alone the feeders)
Final one from last weekends R5 walkabout

We get Pine Siskin irruptions too. They are here right now, actually.
Have not seen any here currently just my regular gold finches who are no longer gold in winter plumage
While it is in the area you lived, you just missed it as the 1700 acre Searcy Ranch was bought by the city and converted with dikes pools, receiving water in 1987. It is out East Colonial and the road to the Wetlands is just past Fort Christmas Park, out in the Lake Picket area. One of the first in the nation, a wastewater treatment experiment that was so successful was adopted throughout the country. Became dual purpose as Orlando Wetlands Park and a wildlife photographers dream. I was on the 2.5 mile "birding" trail, and there is also the 3.75 mile "Lake Searcy" trail, all part of the 20 miles of trails open to the public. While has it's permanent birds, also a natural stopping point for migratory birds. Additionally, gators, bobcat, otters, raccoons, deer, snakes, and other animals. I keep hoping to catch that bobcat family on the prowl but no luck yet.Thanks! Just a little nervous for the duck family. I lived in Orlando for a couple years back in 83 and 84, and then moved to Bithlo out Rt. 50 East Colonial Dr for a few years. Most of the ponds and lakes out there had gators. Lake Pickett was known for lots of gators, and disappearing pets.
light study, day two (apparently also a study in crumbs)
Wouldn't be a kitchen without crumbs.
I have done some time lapse at 4-second exposures at 1 second intervals, but most times I just wait for the right moment and touch the back screen or the camera to take the photo. However, when the auroras are moving very fast, even 4 second exposures achieve similar results as when taking photos of a waterfall where the water in the photo looks sort of milky.
