You made it all, with Wisdom at Your side, You made the earth overflow with Your wonderful creations." Psalms 104 The Message I am grateful to have a quiet morning on my back patio for what seems the first time in several weeks. The Black Cherry is an amber-orange; the Sweetgums a paling yellow-green; the Water Oaks are hanging onto summer’s green; but the Persimmon has been bald a few weeks. Every now and again a crow’s caw cuts the crisp air. My first Junco of the season appeared briefly in the Crepe Myrtle. As the sun crept skyward over the tips of the Loblollies, the silver-grey blanket gave way to patches of baby-blue. The morning appears to be ordering itself to present an awesome autumn afternoon. As they do each November, hundreds of Turkey and Black Vultures have been gathering in the tall trees in a small patch of green space in my subdivision. They seem to flock in a few hours before sunset, gather the last warm rays of the sun, then depart one by one or in small groups for their nightly roost nearby. Overcast 46°F, slight chilly breeze.

You made it all, with Wisdom at Your side, You made the earth overflow with Your wonderful creations." Psalms 104 The Message First thing in the morning, a light rain and cool 49°F. The wind was picking up and the temperature was dropping. I made a short birding walk in the drizzle. A pair of Wood Ducks swam in the open on the upper retention pond but blasted off as soon as they spotted me. By lunch break the front had passed, the rain stopped and the skies turned to a bright blue. Up at the beaver wetlands behind the firing range there was a flurry of activity. A Red-shouldered Hawk sat fluffed up against the increasing wind. Three Eastern Phoebes were hawking insects over the shallow waters. And a Great Blue Heron startled me as it took to the sky not far from where I appeared through the brush on the water's edge. Walton County, Georgia Ivan was a young pitbull terrier mix puppy dog that was turned in as a stray to the animal shelter on October 25, 2019. He was rescued on November 11 by Washington-Wilkes DAWGS Rescue! Lorraine, Polly, Nancy, Heidi, Jason, Anne and Alice all pledged donations to the rescue to make it possible! Axel was a pretty white pitbull puppy dog picked up by an animal control officer on October 25, 2019 in an eviction. He stayed at the shelter over a week and his owner never came to get him. He was adopted into a new home on November 5, 2019! I went to New York to run the New York City Marathon… the chance of a lifetime! While I was hoping to do some birding in Central Park, I knew we would be pressed for time and didn’t bring any binoculars or camera. As it turned out, I only had time for some incidental birding while visiting the Statue of Liberty, but picked up two life birds: Brant and Black-backed Gull. "Boo" was a cute, but very big, 5 month old puppy! With all his wrinkles there had to be some Shar Pei mixed in there somewhere. He was picked up stray by an animal control officer on October 23, 2019. He had his pet photo session on the 29th, and was rescued on November 1, 2019 by Second Chance Habitat Rescue! Alice, Anne, Jason and Lorraine all made donations to the rescue for saving Boo!
Moose was a sweet American Bulldog that was surrendered by his owner to the animal shelter on October 22, 2019. He was finally rescued on Halloween by Second Chance Habitat Rescue! Several wonderful people pledged donations to the rescue: thanks Alice, Cindy, Eileen, Lorraine, Nancy, Dana, Jason and Anne!
Carver was a stray shepherd mixed breed dog picked up by an animal control officer on October 24, 2019.

His rescue was sponsored by pledged donations to the rescue from Nancy, Dana, Jason, and Anne.
Pazley was an unique looking merle Catahoula and Heeler mix breed dog that was surrendered to the animal shelter by her owner on October 28, 2019. She was adopted three days later!

“Ruby” was a super-sweet Boxer mix that was impounded by an animal control officer on October 7, 2019. A notice was left with the owner’s, but they came in and surrendered her to the shelter. She got her outdoor dog rescue photo session on October 16, 2019 and the push was made to find her a new home.
On October 21, Amanda came to the shelter to adopt this sweetheart and give her a new home. Over the next few weeks, Ruby’s new pet-mom sent several updates: Hey, just wanted to let you guys know how our Rube is doing :) She’s settling in. Her and my lab are doing great. I haven’t introduced her to my other dog yet. They see each other through a window and can sense each other’s energy and start whining. I know everyone will get along with time. Slow and steady wins the race. I’ve attached some pictures of her. |
