Cooler days and nights bring our fall and winter residents. Not only does that include the Pied-billed Grebe, the Western Grebe could visit, and a number of ducks will be arriving shortly. I am still awaiting some surprises, I hope, and we'll see where that just might take us next. So keep those binoculars at the ready for I saw some Ring-billed Gulls yesterday, so that ail be an indication of things yet to come very soon. I will keep the remainder of my suspicions secret at this time...

Most of these photos were from today. I had another morning off, which allowed for many of these shots. It was a cool 60 degrees, and the cormorant population is increasing. Before we know it, the frost will be on the pumpkin, and my favorites, the ducks will be here!
