As we move from fall toward winter, our resident wildlife is in transition.

A small American Copper Butterfly has joined the Monarchs on their migration south.
Asters provide some of the last pollen for the Bumble Bees.
A proliferation of red berries signals the Holidays are coming.
Hank Heron has gotten soaked in rain storms as the foliage changed to red.
But he, too, has now departed.
Eddy Egret had his last fresh seafood on our rocks, and hasn’t been back.
Some sport fishermen are still around to look after Eddy’s fishing grounds.
At Brace Cove, the seals have returned for the winter, claiming their rocks.
Flocks of Buffleheads have arrived on Niles Pond, napping after their trek.
Hooded Mergansers are repopulating the pond.
Mattie Muskrat is reinforcing her winter quarters with recycled water lilies.
With skies getting more menacing, this cloud wants to pick up the lighthouse.
