Fall Is A Magical Season

There are many reasons why this is my favorite time of year. The migration of many species of birds is one...

This golden-crowned kinglet is one of several that visited our yard recently...

This northern mockingbird was enjoying the early morning sunshine...

Changing colors, seen here reflected in a small stream, are an important part of   the season...

A yellow-rumped warbler enjoys a bath...

I watched a blue jay gather acorns...

to stash in a woodpile for later use...

This rusty blackbird is a migrant that I don't see often...

It was interesting to see how this song sparrow blended into the habitat...

I spotted a screech owl peering from a hollow sycamore tree...

When I returned a few days later, it was back in the same spot...

Locating an owl is always a much appreciated gift from nature...

This common yellowthroat has a unique beauty in her subdued colors...

 

You may have guessed that being surrounded by nature is my "happy place"...

Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
