Fall is here! The katydid symphony is much quieter in the evenings and we are seeing more of them on the screens.
Some of the hummingbirds have left and we see fewer of them at the feeders. The ones who remain seem very chilly in the mornings. They fluff up their little feathers in an effort to stay warm.
Little round body and tiny legs.
Fluffing up to stay warm until the sun is brighter.
We love these days of early Autumn. We can see spots of color here and there. The wildflowers along the road make our drives more happy. We're awaiting the woolly worm predictions, although the ones we've seen around here are mostly brown, predicting a mild winter. Here's hoping they are correct!

I've seen several wooly bear caterpillars the past few weeks that have been all brown. I hope they aren't lying to me - I would love a mild winter!

Fall arrived so quickly this year. It makes me worry a bit about winter. I'm hoping for a mild one here too. And, hoping to make it the last one where we could have snow.
My hummers have dropped off from around 30 to 2. I leave the feeders up for a while for the migrating birds to catch some fast food.
I am hoping for at least a couple of snows this year.
Your early autumn sounds like our full blown autumn...and I can't wait for it. ;)
I hope you have a mild winter too.
I'll bet those spots of color are beautiful!
I thought katydids are tropical insects, now i learned something. We have them during the dry season, i wonder if their voices at night are the same with their temperate brothers!
We saw a hummer on Sunday and one Monday evening late. Pretty sure they are coming through from further north. Autumn definitely has come to Ohio...the harvest of our vast fields of beans and corn is underway.
Sweet hummers. I have one lone visitor still at my feeder. I suspect she will be gone soon, as the temps are expected to really drop this week.
Those katydids are loud of the night. Our hummingibrds seem to be gone now Fall is here. The leaves are changing colors quickly.
