Happy first day of fall! The leaves may still be green but the sun is getting lower and lower, and soon it will be colder and colder. Eventually. I promise. Even if we have such a strong El Niño – the strongest ever recorded? – it will be cold once again! At least we have the beautiful autumn foliage to look forward to and even more birds visiting our yards, both those that will be passing through and others that will be coming to spend the winter with us.
