After shunning us for our October monthly challenge list, this guy (if the same bird) showed up in its regular spot today at Island 22.
I was pleased when my binoculars saw something similar to this!

Got some closer shots. It seems to be moving into nonbreeding colours as there is some more dark feathering on the face.

A Sharp-shinned Hawk flew over as well as a flock of Green-winged Teal. A good 300+ Cackling Geese were among about 200 Canada Geese. Amazing how the two keep separate from each other. A Red-necked Grebe was also spotted.

Today I saw photographs of this guy taken on the 31st of October. I take back my earlier comments about missing it for October! Wow, the month of October just got better!!

Great to see that he's back or a second one has decided to show up!
Love the picture of the teal.
