Many migratory birds have now left the country, but some are still on the move. Trees are shedding their leaves, making it easier to spot some birds. We’ve had the occassional frost night, but also a large number of beautiful fall days. I managed to join two of the Tuesday club outings, but now that’s closed down for the season.
