Dawn on the the last day of the hummers


Sept 20, a beautiful, hot sunny day, and the shade under the "wedding trees" is really nice.
Photo take on Sept 20, 2010.  The garden still has a lot of active blooms including a few red bee balms, and the new blooming astors. the milkweed has long gone to seed, as have the joe pye weed. Black-eyed susan hanging in there. the yard is silent except for a few bees and other insects. not many birds.  Occasional Canada Geese, the Red Tail across the way, and earlier today a Pileated, but the hummers, bluebirds are gone, as are the redwings. there is some chickadee actiity, and the red and white nuthatches are beginning to show up.  Occasionally a goldfinch is here.


The water level at the marsh is getting higher every day. Jonna is standing behind the path that we always use. You can see the original pond area in the top center

not sure,  but they like the milkweed





Every day is catnip day now



Rosie will take every bit of sun 


the nights can get long but TV is us. Winged Migration on WNED-Tv kept us all interested for several hours
