Trash pickup is: CANCELLED No one told the North End. What's this going to look like a week from now after 24" of snow tonight?

No waterbirds at Chestnut Hill today. But got some good looks at a Golden-crowned Kinglet, Downy Woodpecker, and White-breasted Nuthatch.

Petersons is still best at at least one thing: CONFUSING FALL WARBLERS, etc A friend of mine said of this picture: “If that bird could talk, even it wouldn’t be able to tell you” (Also: the actual species I think it is isn’t even on that page)

Saw an Orange-crowned Warbler AND a Tennessee Warbler today in the pine trees behind the Eliot Upper School/tennis courts - next to the bridge. Tennessee Warblers are only reported in 0.1% of November Suffolk County checklists! Bonus White-throated Sparrow. ebird.org/checklist/S2...

The full moon last night was about 6% larger in apparent diameter than the AVERAGE full moon. The closest perigean full moon is about 7% larger. I had to get that off my chest because the Globe keeps reporting that a "supermoon" is 14% larger than the average.

Moonrise over Logan tonight. Full moon is technically tonight, but it happens just 12 minutes before midnight. So tomorrow night's 99% illumination will be practically identical, just on the other side of sunset. This was at 6:07pm - about 5 minutes before sunset and 12 minutes after the moon rose.
