Backyard Birds: Fall #1 and Fall Colors

Here's the first batch of our Backyard Birds this fall! We didn't feed during summer and relocated our feeders for the first time in several years. And as a consequence, our feathered friends haven't quite yet returned in full force. The photo angles will be different and the lighting's a bit more limited but we'll see what happens as the season progresses.

I've also included a couple shots of the fall colors. It's been several years since out local foliage has been worthy of exclaim. This year the leaves have been much more vibrant.

But first the birds!

White-breasted Nuthatch

White-throated Sparrow

Eastern Bluebird

Carolina Chickadee

And now for some Fall Color in Alamance County, North Carolina!

On Another Note

Karen and I recently went on an Alamance County adventure and provided snacks for a small group of local residents originally from South America. Our next blog will feature our fellowship with them.

Here's a clue.

This spring we had Bluebirds, Carolina Wrens, and Chickadees nest and fledge in our yard. It's always fun to watch the birds. 

Thanks for taking a look. Once fall hits we'll load the feeders again, charge up the camera batteries, and see what flies within range. We appreciate your friendship, partnership, prayers and encouragement!
