November, 2011 Edition
Fall was unusually colorful and extended in Indiana this year. This Maple tree glows with color in the deep woods where few will see its glory. We have many more colorful trees at Fall Foliage I.
A male Bluebird pauses on his way south. For more of this and others see Fall Birds.
Butterflies in general, and Monarchs in particular, have been scarce this year. Normally late summer and early fall is the best season for them, but we haven't seen many. See Butterflies for those we did discover.
A migrating Killdeer shows up well while standing on this rock in the Killbuck Wetlands. See Killdeer to find out why they aren't always so obvious.
Mick Hardy also found some migrating Monarchs at his home in northern Madison County. See Hardy's Migrants for more pictures of these butterflies and other migrants.
These Wood Ducks are gathering before flying south for the winter. See Wood Ducks for more of these shy birds.
The trees have been so spectacular this fall that we are ending with another page of them at Fall Foliage II. Enjoy!
