Wednesday October 1 ,2003
The fall colors are at their 'peak' in our neck of the woods, every =
morning brings a new 'visual feast'! This morning, while drinking our =
coffee, we watched a 'sharp-shinned' hawk pestering the 'flock' (to many =
to count) of Blue Jays at our window feeders. He kept them on the move, =
and made them 'work' for their meal! What a beautiful sight! He has =
become a regular
morning visitor, so we plan to catch some video footage and pictures to =
share.
Speaking of pictures, if you have some you would like to share, we =
welcome you to enter them in our 'Wild Birds of Your Region' photo =
contest.
We've had plenty of deer visiting the feeders, they sure like their corn =
(and the green lawn). Hunting is open, so the animals appreciate the =
'refuge' here! (it doesn't take them long to figure out where they are =
safe). We have nothing against hunting, but we would rather 'hunt' them =
with our camera's. The dark-eyed juncos made their appearance this week! =
We welcome them back, they are a cheery bunch! Food for thought: 'Not =
all who wander are lost'... May you find some time to wander! =
