The colors are changing and it’s that time of year to prepare for winter. The sunflowers have been harvested. The garden is ready to close down for the coming cold. The grill and lawn furniture is stowed.
Now my favorite part of this time of year besides the vibrant fall colors is the return of all my feeder birds. I had a junco on camera just yesterday morning. Blue jays are beginning to stop by more frequently. I never see them at the height of summer. My bird seed orders are starting to arrive as I build my supply up.
It is hard to stow away the sandals and shorts. I might have to become like the birds and consider migration! Snow was a lot more fun as a child when you didn’t have to move it off the driveways and side walks. However warm sunny seems much more inviting anymore. Costa Rica winter birding trip anyone?
