I went to the White Memorial Foundation, a 4600 acre wildlife preserve around Bantam Lake. There's a wetland called Little Pond with a boardwalk. It was a slow birdwatching day, at least in the afternoon when I went out, but the walk was glorious. I did see a great blue heron perched in a tree, a northern mockingbird, a black-throated green warbler and a hawk (likely a female red-tail) that flew right across the path at a mere five feet off the ground.
As you can see, very few of the trees had started to turn although noticeably more are turning today than yesterday. But fall is on the way. This wooly bear caterpillar was my first of the season.
Nicholas enjoyed watching some birds at home.

Ah, seasons! The traditional four, I mean.
Didn't we go there once. I seem to remember a walk in a preserve with a boardwalk. I also remember there were a lot of people there. It was quite impressive as are your photos. As always.
I love Fall. Wish we had one!
Yeah, I think we went there. Not usually a lot of people there except on the odd weekend day.
