This morning was one of those times when all seems right with the world! It is mid-September and the temperature is a chilly 56 degrees with a cerulean sky and light breeze out of the north. Standing in the Field and looking west over the grain sorghum, I can see the increasing tans and yellows that define fall just beginning to be evident. The orchard orioles and blue grosbeaks are gathering into coveys, signaling their soon to begin travels to the south. Today I see several groups of 10-20 gorging on the sorghum(sometimes called "high gear"), getting fattened up for the journey. I have yet to see the warblers from the north who begin to migrate through this area about now--but soon---. There are still late flowers around and the insects don't seem to notice the cool. Today I got a nice close-up of a relatively rare Arrowhead Orb Spider--first one for me-(see to the right).
This is my favorite time of the year when the cold makes everything seem a little sharper and colors a little brighter!There is so much to photograph now as the summer birds go and the migrants visit briefly, then give way to our winter residents---- See you in the Field.
