ANYTHING BETTER ON YOUR SIDE? - A Tufted Titmouse might be talking to the Chickadee on the other side of the feeder.

FALL HAS FALLEN - An Oak leaf in the brook is what Fall is starting to look like in southern New Hampshire.

DUCKS ON THE POND - We are used to seeing migrating ducks on local ponds in the Spring - but this pair of Bufflehead Ducks was on Mill Pond in Rindge, NH on Friday. Migrating ducks either continue on or settle into sheltered costal and estuarine waters for winter.

GETTIN' A SEED - A Blue Jay snatches a sunflower seed from the feeder. The birds have been especially active at the feeders now that cooler weather and later sunrises are here. (sorry for no POTD yesterday...I had a setback that kept me from my camera and my computer ;-)

THE BRONZE PHASE - New England Fall foliage has entered the "bronze phase" - after the Maple leaves have fallen and Oak and Birch leaves turn the mountain bronze.
