Day 279 - 5th October 2016 - Sunrise, Ruffed Grouse and Chickadee

Every inch of the sky is filled with stars this morning - it's beautiful out there....and nippy.  No frost for us yesterday, but we are going to get it soon. Temperatures are dipping down every night. Now the weather sites have a Tropical Cyclone watch out for the first of next week. I hope it brings rain.  Came across a large flock of Chickadees on my morning walking with a few Red & White Breasted Nuthatches and one lone Palm Warbler. Hearing and seeing more Nuthatches these days - a few of the regular fall and winter birds. Ducks were hanging out waiting for breakfast at Myrna's. Mostly a quiet day at work.

Another beautiful morning on the lake.
















This old pine on the point remind me of a Bonsai.



















And what sounded like an Elephant turned out to be a Ruffed Grouse (Partridge)













Chickadee with attitude!

White Breasted Nuthatch









Enjoy your day!
