Just now, this Friday morning, I noticed a few newcomers to the yard. Mary Mockingbird was having a fit, attempting to drive them off, as her third nest is not far off in the magnolia. Is this an omen?
These guys appear rather ominous, yes?
This was my observation yesterday morning:
The sun is shining,
the zinnias are brilliant,
five doves poke around,
one bunny snoops,
not a snake in sight.
Mary Mocking bird feeds her new chicks,
catnip is in the drying shed.
I smell fall.

No fall detected here yet, but it won’t be long, maybe the next cold front will bring a taste….but I like the buzzards…

If they were turkey vultures that would be one thing – Mary needn’t worry – but are they cormorants? That’s what the bills look like. I think they’re pretty cool.
And here we are in NJ, with rain and thunderstorms on the horizon most of the day and 100% humidity. I wish I smelled fall.
