A Slow End of Summer

This happens a lot now that I am over 5 years in -- September seems really slow. It probably doesn't help that it has been exceptionally cool since Mid-August and perhaps the birds decided to leave early. I also doesn't help that I got a lot of birds I might otherwise be looking for the September earlier in the year.
On the upside, I have book a trip to Costa Rica in November, so I have lots of studying and drawing to do to prepare for that.
Here is what's been going on (in between video curation) for the last few weeks.
