this AM there were 4 female / immature types visible at once from my kitchen window - one sitting and shivering on each of my 3 feeders and one perched next to a pineapple sage plant (which was covered with a sheet because of the frost). I have been seeing 1-2 at a time almost every day the last few weeks (after a lifetime high for me of 12 at once on Aug 14) - seeing 4 at once this late in the season was an unpleasant surprise. I wish they would leave for warmer climes....... Nita Irby, Dryden

They appear to be darker in color than I recall so does that mean they are this summer's hatch? All in a S-SW flight. Beautiful, thrilling, rewarding sight! Need to go to Seneca Meadows! Coming down from the garden a few minutes ago I glanced up, looking for more monarchs when, coming right overhead, was a COMMON NIGHTHAWK, also heading south. Anyone still have humming birds? Last saw ours 6 Sept. gleaning bugs from the cosmos buds & blossoms. No frost here this a.m. ... just HEAVY dew. Fritzie ....
