Sumac, ablaze in fall finery

Begun
Falls’ palette has begun its artistry. Brushing this bush is only one of many artworks to come.
Soaring
I stepped outside to see one, three, seven, eleven Turkey vultures soaringĀ on an unfavourable wind, trying to gain an advantageĀ during their migration. Two turn downwind, I suppose preparing to get a head of steam up to attack the wind.
Beauty underfoot
I looked down and saw this beautiful sight.
On the move
Migratory birds are on the move here. Robins are no linger tut-tutting, killdeer are scarce, have not seen or heard orioles and grosbeaks for a while.
On a recent grey and gloomy day, during an outing that took me to the north shore of Lake Erie, I saw this group of Turkey vultures on the move, headed west along the lake shore to the nearest way around the lake instead of over it. Such graceful birds.
