Yup. Only dark gray birds for a dark horse like me. It's Mother Nature's very own plan. Tone down the birds just before she turns up the foliage and sets fire to everything. After a spell of seeing dull-looking birds the splendour of autumn is all the more .... splendid? There are still a few warblers around for those able to visit hot-spots. I miss going to Ashbridges bay, among other past extravagances. Thanks for the encouragement, you wild woman of the far north. Say hello to Bigfoot if you should happen to see her. Tell her that I have not forgotten that I lost that stupid bet and that I still owe her the money, although I can't see her spending any of it any time soon.
