Yesterday Ro spotted 3 White Throated Sparrows in our back yard - facing the preserve in back of us. They're here over 3 weeks earlier than their usual appearance from up North. Do they know something about the coming winter?
 
I really don't want to turn on the heater just yet. Its been staying 64-67 in here. But I fired it up to 68 yesterday just to make sure its working ok so I am ready when it does get cold in here. Its a new unit, but so is my water heater and I had a gas leak in only 3 months after it was installed, which was the plumbers fault, no the unit, but still, who expects that.

Absolutely ;) Some forecasts are calling for snow this weekend in the NE mountains. The Cape May Hawk Watch has been going gangbusters, 4200+ raptors on 10/4. Cape May Fall Weekend in 2 weeks.
