The birds we see this month don't merit a special trip here -- we see just the normal ones. We do enjoy the constant serenades of Solitaires. Juncos have gradually started to arrive -- we counted around a dozen today. And we have Pygmy Nuthatches, a species we haven't had regularly in past years.

But the fall colors around Franktown awe us. Yellow cottonwoods, red & orange & yellow scrub-oaks, intense red 3-leaf sumac. Magical.
