I am back after a month long break from blogging. It was due to sickness and a lot of homework. I have been so busy that I have had little time to go bird watching. Here are a few pictures from the little birding I did during the past month.

| "Myrtle" Yellow-rumped Warbler in my frontyard on 10/12. |
 |
| "Cassiar's" Dark-eyed Junco in my yard on 10/18. |
The "Cassiar's" Dark-eyed Junco is an uncommon winter resident in Nebraska. It is an intergrade between the "Slate-colored" and "Oregon" Dark-eyed Juncos. This bird can be separated from the "Slate-colored" Junco by its contrasting dark hood, gray sides, and brown back.

| Black-throated Green Warbler at Standing Bear Lake, Omaha, NE on 10/19. |
 |
| "Red" Fox Sparrow in my backyard on 10/31. |
 |
| Chipping Sparrow in my backyard on 11/5. |
This Chipping Sparrow surprised me when it showed up in my backyard on 11/5. It was my latest Chipping Sparrow in Nebraska, there are only stragglers in November.
