Fall Is Finally Here

You wouldn’t be able to tell from the temperatures (in the 80s) we have been experiencing here in NY, but there are other signs of fall all around. Here are some photos from the week.

You can’t go anywhere around here without seeing signs for or hearing locals talk about the famous salmon fishing that takes place this month. Every October the salmon make their famous run up the rivers to spawn. Anglers from all over come to try and wrangle these big fish.

Late summer and early fall means stick insects are out and about mating, as are the couple in the photo below.

And lastly, this Northern Flicker was rustling in the leaves on the ground this morning outside our house.

    Dr. Doom,
    SOrry, I hit the wrong button and sent my message on accident!
    Anyways I wanted to know if Black Widow spiders can kill me…I had a show down with one the other day. He was aggressive and chased me into the house like 4 times. Also, there are two bugs in our freezer for you that I caught. The one I caught last night looks like something from the movie Men In Black…like the ones we caught on Cape Cod in the basement…
    Okay, I just wanted to say hello!

    -Love, your little sister
