We are starting to see the last of the passerine migration now, and
although a killing frost has not hit most of the area, we can expect it
any day now. Leaves are turning and much more color has appeared in the
last week. Wind is starting to take down some of the leaves already.
Many migrating NORTHERN FLICKERS can be seen along the highways and
bi-ways.
