Autumn Backyard Nature in New Jersey.
Birds of the day viewed at the birdfeeder and in the backyard: Mourning Dove, Downy Woodpecker, Blue Jay, Black-capped Chickadee, Tufted Titmouse, Northern Mocking Bird, Eastern Bluebird, House Finch, Dark-eyed Junco, Red-winged Blackbird, Northern Cardinal. A flock of birds (tentative) flew into a tree, then left. I haven’t seen a Northern Mocking bird at the birdfeeders for a long time. This one was yelling at the Blue Jays, that were yelling back.

The Opossum is back.
Little Planet Time-lapse Video. Afternoon on the back patio. Tried to use a chipper to grind up the Canna stalks. Didn’t work, they are too fibrous and still wet jamming the chipper.

Autumn Rainy Day in New Jersey.
Time-lapse video. The weather forecast for the day was rain in the morning. I spent the day cleaning and organizing the garage. Need space for the soft-pots containing the Canna tubers to overwinter, and space for the car. Empty the tow-behind sprayer, assemble the tow-behind fertilizer spreader, start to assemble the wire racks for the Canna tubers. Bonus clip at the end of the possum trying to steal food from the rat trap.
