Winter's here!

 Ha! Scared ya, didn't I?!
Actually, we had our first visits from the Winter Wrens this weekend. Friday I saw the first and on Sunday morning a second appeared. At first I just thought "My...he sure does get around quickly!" Then I realized, stoopid Loopy, there's two! Gettin' old...

 Showing off that perky little behind!

 They don't like to sit still long enough.
That is why I only have a few shots of the first wren...

I gave up on the second...

 Speaking of winter birds...we also have White-crowned Sparrows.

*don't rub your eyes...I shot through the screen again...

 AND...the White-throated Sparrows are here too!

I love their little whistley song.

 And the Green Frogs were successful again this year.

The Mink got one of the adults,but we have at least three young ones 

and still a couple of tadpoles in the pond.

Okay, enjoy the rest of autumn...before the REAL winter gets here!
