I saw hundreds of these alien looking warriors today massing at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V3 camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 160, 300 mm, f/11, 1/320 sec).
Why are nine large birds flying north past the Grand Tetons in late September? At this distance I can’t tell if they are geese, cranes, or swans. My guess is Sandhill Cranes. Image taken with a Nikon D2xs and 200-400 mm VR lens (ISO 100, 200 mm, f/8,, 1/180 sec).
For several weeks many (up to 100) turkey vultures invaded the neighborhood. There are three houses and several other trees that they favored for spending their nights. The roofs of the homes began to turn white from the turkey vulture droppings.

Yesterday’s light rain and sleet changed to snow overnight. Outside became a winter wonderland. Images of trees, red holly berries, and lonely chairs on the deck.
