10-17-21 SHORT HILLS:
We’ve been back for several days—warm days, like early September—until last night when a front came through with rain and wind and cooler temps. We had been in the high seventies, but are now in the fifties. In prior years we would have had a frost by this point in October. We are predicted to have a first frost in mid-November, Vermont may get a frost in early November. This is not my father’s fall.
We still have no chipmunks or squirrels here and almost no birds. I refilled one bird feeder one time since September 1, and the others have not been refilled. They all used to need refilling almost daily.
Today we did a dog walk at Loantaka Park along with lots of other people and dogs. There were no water birds at the pond, but we did see a skein of Canada geese in flight. In the pond there was a rock to log in the middle that had an odd look. I got a picture, below.
Canada geese in a loose formation headed north at the moment.
A better look at the geese/ They are all honking away.
The pond at Loantaka Park. The leaves are turning, but no ducks.
Is that a log or rock in the middle of the pic?
It's a turtle con! Some of them are pretty big. I think they are all painted turtles.
