Going through some of my files of warblers I picked out some of my favorites to send to you. The warblers are some of my favorite birds. Here are some colorful male birds from a few seasons past. A Bay-breasted Warbler, a Magnolia Warbler, a Blue-winged Warbler, twoBlack and white Warblers and two Blackburnian Warblers. Dave

Lets look at things that tell me it is fall here on Drummond Island – my island of nature shows millions of signs of the season in all four seasons – but, now it says fall!

The otter is fishing near shore on a cool misty morning in a bay on Lake Huron – somehow it says fall to me
My human fishing friend is not wearing shorts and a tee-shirt – says fall to me.
This beautiful buck has just lost it’s velvet – look at the red tone to the antlers – that says they are brand new rubbed off velvet – says fall
Two weeks ago this little fellow had lots of spots – all gone – that says fall is now here
Cedar trees do not have the color of the hard woods of New England – but they show and then shed a lot of seeds – only in the fall
Look at the sky and the color of the leaves – That photo says fall to me
Beautiful sunset sky – a little earlier, a little further south, with a dark layer of clouds overhead with beautiful snake skin pattern over the Island tree tops. It all says fall to me!

Autumnal Equinox arrived on September 22, 2021!  I read that after the fact.  But then I already knew Fall arrived just by being outside on Drummond Island.

As you swing thru life enjoy nature in your area – bet you can find ways to tell what season it is
