 Some of autumn's rewards:

I'm seeing and hearing Ruby-crowned Kinglets regularly.

They are difficult to photograph as they flit around and are rarely stationary.

The Bewick's Wren likes suet and is easier to photograph. 

Love, love, love the striped tail feathers.

Suet consumption!

I'm still seeing one or two Varied Thrush in the backyard most days.

I can't get enough of these beautiful birds!

This is a wonderful autumn gift.

This is another of my Mom's stitches.  She had it 98.6% completed.  I added some French knot eyes and long stitch nose and whiskers.  And ta-da!  It's done! 

I had a couple of Red-breasted Nuthatches arrive at the same time.

Here is #1

And here is #2

Fun to watch their upside down antics.
