The bird feeder is up and the fall birds have settled in. I always like when the fall visitors arrive. It helps to relieve the monotony of the grey weather. We have seen all sorts of ducks and geese coming through. During the cranberry harvest we saw an American Kestrel haunting the fields. This year there have been many raptors of all descriptions. There are harriers, grey and red hawks and the little sparrow hawks. We have heard an owl at night but we haven't seen it yet.
Scot took this great picture of the now resident king fishers. They are fishing along the canals right now and will hopefully stay here for a while longer. I love to hear their little chittering call.
