White Pelicans are already here. No they are not Geese! Ducks are just now moving through. Usually way up high. Cormorants are moving back in BAHH! If you feed birds, the White Throated sparrows are here, that tells me fall/winter is here. You will start to notice a lot more Hawks on the power lines and trees now. This is a wonderful time when the seasons change. Anyway, I hope y'all will take notice.

While sitting in my deer stand yesterday I had quite a few squirrels running around and a out of nowhere a red tail hawk almost caught one and then he landed in a tree right next to me. One look at me and off he went I have a Coopers Hawk that catches sparrows around my garden. I like the Junco's that come to my house. It is a very nice past time. Where is Miss Jane when you need her ?




You know Elly May could talk to them critters. I wonder if she ever found her a man ?
