Pictures from an email
OCTOBER - probably my most favorite month. Weather is usually cool, clear and crisp. The leaves in their brilliant hues are making spectacles of themselves against blue skies. I feel certain that it is just as lovely in Scotland as it is here in southern Ohio.
Millicent and Breagha are seemingly settled in their winter headquarters, while Druee has flown on her merry way, wild and free, unencumbered except for her blue identification ring. We hope that she too is comfortably settled in her winter home.
Osprey news from here on out will likely be scarce So any information that anyone has about ANY OSPREY will be doubly appreciated here on the October Gabfest. Or news of interest of any wildlife, for that matter.
October is the month some of us start our Christmas cakes. I do a short version which will not be started until December, but this month I will definitely be thinking ahead for decorations.
The October nights have a way of going from cool to COLD, so the bright, crackling fires of the Gabfest Chat Room will be very welcome. Come on in, pull up a rocker and set a spell. We can talk of ospreys past, present and future, Christmas cakes, streetwalks, gardening or whatever suits our fancy.
Ahhhhh, June. It is my most favorite tome of the year as well, here in Upstate New York. But we do NOT have those colors yet, as shown in your lovely photos. I am in Rochester, NY and the osprey are definitely gone from here - are you near Cincinnati?

CC it is VERY good to hear from another person this side of the great pond.
No we do not have the really bright colors yet, but October will bring them on. A few of the maples and others are just starting to turn.
Yes, I live in a suburb of Cincinnati. I am a Reds Baseball fan and love Cincinnati chili - must be a five way :).
I have been told that we have osprey nearby, but I have seen no evidence of them.
June, your October pictures are just stunning! I take it they are from your home state? You're certainly correct in saying that Scotland is exceptionally beautiful in autumn.
CC, lovely to see you!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Clare the pictures are just from an email being passed around person to person. I've no idea where they are or who took them.
Well, they're very beautiful anyway. Thanks for sharing them.
