Day 282 - 13th October 2017 - Hermit Thrush, Leaves and a Chickadee

Lovely but chilly morning - stars and moon are out, twinkling in the dark sky. Can hear an Owl up the lake. Guess I'll be building a fire in the furnace this morning. It's that time of year, when the mornings and evenings require the house being warmed up especially with the patient at home. He's progressing well. After supper last night the yard was full of Chickadees, Robins and a single Hermit Thrush. Now that it's getting colder, I'll soon be using the feeders again - probably in the next week or two. Our work days at the Ross Thomson House are coming to an end, just today and tomorrow for me and we close on the 15th. Then next week will be clean up, inventory, etc. No more weekends til next season. It's been a good year, enjoy the work and the variety of visitors that come through.

My favourite songster paid a visit last evening - Hermit Thrush.

Enjoy your day!
