I am always amazed to see how quickly the
landscape changes in the fall. In the course of one week, it has been much easier to spot a bird in the trees, what with all the leaves falling. Of course, by now the majority of our warblers have headed south, so there are fewer species to see with my
binoculars. Of course, there are still Yellow-rumped and other colder weather warblers, not to mention the daily arriving winter species. That means it is time to start throwing seed on the lawn to attract birds close to my window. Nothing like seeing a Junco or White-crowned at a distance of less than ten feet with a
binocular. No need for a
spotting scope, here.
