Sweet fall rain

The rusty leaves, falling now with the advancing wind pushing them off their branches and with the coming rain likely knocking off most of the lovely crisp colors.

Screech owls nearby

Over the past few days I have heard the screech owls.   In fact they are close by, perhaps 200 ft. from my house.  Tomorrow I will get up early and listen.

Bird feeders are out

I filed my nyjer feeder and my black sunflower seed feeders yesterday, now just waiting to enjoy all the birds eating this fall and winter.

October 2nd early morn'

I heard the screech owl early this morning.  He sounded around 3 am central and with the expected weather change upcoming tonite, why not?    Tonite the rain is coming through with true fall this weekend!

Great Horned Owls- Owl Night September 28th

This morning I woke at 3 am and sat waiting to hear owls.   The first was a screech owl which roosts nearby in the woods at around 3:30 am .   I then fell back to sleep, near dawn two Great Horned Owls calling each other in the distance.  This was a great owl night

Early Morning Possum

This morning in my sauntering with coffee cup in hand I spotted my friend the "Possum in August"
He quickly scampered away upon seeing me.   My plan is to survail him over the coming fall, study his habits and report further.

Early morning quiet and solitude

I enjoyed the 4:45 am silence this morning.....in solitude contemplating the moon that slipped behind the building cloud cover.   I did not hear the screech owl, but I have noticed when it is clouding up he does not sound?    It was great sitting outside eating my breakfast before dawn.
