Sunset Walk at BHCL

I walked at Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary today at lunch.  The leaves were pretty.  There were a couple of Hooded Mergansers way out on the water, an Eastern Phoebe, Red-Bellied Woodpecker, and Blue Jays to entertain me, but I didn't get any good photos.

Wish this was in focus, but how cool was that?

Biggest Sassafrass leaf I have ever seen


 I see you!


After work, I had a lovely walk at Breakneck Hill Conservation Land, watching the sun sink into the horizon.  There were Yellow-Rumped Warblers and Palm Warblers galore, and one Palm Warbler landed on a tree right next to me and hopped closer and closer all after my CAMERA BATTERY DIED.  I also saw a Hermit Thrush hopping along the trail.   I didn't have a spare battery on me, either,  and the sun was casting some beautiful light on the fall leaves.  I hurried back to the parking lot and changed my battery, but....most of the good stuff was gone.  No more warblers.  Sunset was past peak.  Oh well!  I saw it, and I loved it!!!

 Love those clouds

 and autumn colors have definitely taken over from summer

Good night, moon!
