Winter is Coming

Like the hands on a clock, the birds in the yard indicate the passage of time. 

Today a pair, a male, shown here, and a female, of  Purple Finches visited our feeders.

Once summer gives way to fall, these birds come south, albeit a short distance in our case, as they are year round residents in the northern part of the state. 

A welcome visitor, even though they portend the cold weather to come.
