Fall Migration

 One morning at the wetlands.  Look up high in the fall sky,   Who are they?🤔

"We are American White Pelican, stopping over 

here for a little while, on the way to south."☺️

"Today is a super day. nice and warm."👍

" We are about 20 of us teavelling together."🤩

One Fall Day

 A high sky with clouds

The blueberry bush is now changing the color.

House Finches are busy finishing up raising their young.

Right:  "I am big now, but my mom has to feed me still."🥰

" I am getting late going down south.  

Today is warm, so I stopped over.  See you next March."☺️

(note: Rufous Hummingbird is a summer bird here.)

School Started Now

This past week has been cold.  I hope we still have some warm weather left. 

Pie-billed Grebe;  "I hope so.  I will stay here during the cold months."☺️

Green Heron:  "I am not made for cold, so I will be leaving soon for south."😉

Canada Goose:  "We are made tough.  We will be around all the time."🤩

Now Robin Returned.

Cabbage Patch Butterflies are still around.  They like the leftover lavenders. 🦋

American Robins returned to my backyard.

"I found food here."🪰🐜🪱

The other day, a male Robin brought a young one for bathing here.

"My kid now knows how to get cleaned.  

Don't you think I taught him good?"🥰😁👍

Fall Scene

The Blue Heron colony now has no one.  Everyone is grown up before winter.   Yeah!👍

"I am one of them.  My mom told me it will be cold soon

 and I have to improve on the hunting skill."  👍

" Me, too.  I am getting better at it."😋☺️

Not So Hot Anymore

I can feel the autumn breeze once in a while.   A little butterfly flies around together with a bumble bee in my backyard.🐝🦋

Summer flowers are mostly done.  Anna's Hummingbird is back to the sugar water.

"Summer flowers are not so sweet now.  I am back to your sugar water."😋

"I am a Rufuous Hummingbird and on the way 

to south.  I still like your hotlips."😋

Hot Days

 Hot days in Oregon.🍦🍧

A few days ago, it was worse with the forest fire smoke.  The sun was eerie orange colored.  Today is lot better.  The wetlands now have rosehips.

Purple Martins were at the nest.  Are they still raising little ones again?

"Just hanging around here.  We are all grown-up now."☺️

"I caught a big fish this morning.  Look at this 

under my right claws.  A lucky day today."😎👍
