Outdoors This Month: November 2009
 November Brings Wild Fowl & Nor'EastersNovember brings Nor’easters. They are usually a three day blow with lots of wind, rain, and high tides. It also brings ducks, Canada geese, and by the end of the month their pals the snowies. There are still plenty of good boating days. Fishing is light but oysters can now be harvested in most bays. Deer will be in mating season this month culminating with the annual rifle season at month’s end. That means they will be all over our roads. Be careful hiking this time of year. Avoid posted hunting areas and wear bright colored clothes. A recent trip to the southernmost reaches of the peninsula I was rewarded with the site of this Merlin falcon. I went hoping to see flocks of migrating Monarchs - which can be seen in October. But I only saw just this one and this old and scruffy Red spotted purple butterfly. Another interesting site among the usual fall color are these wild persimmons which are native to the area. Also closer to home, this heron must be getting used to me as this is the closest I have gotten to him.
