Started showing up in large numbers yesterday, heading south to warm up. Good sign cool temps are soon here to stay. LB

I’ll take cool overnights, but still hoping for an extended fall.

Where do they go after fledging? They must go north for some type of food - then start trickling back through? There’s a month or so in summer I never lay eyes on one.

Our new Bassorgie puppy loves to chase them around the yard. LB

Yep! Got a bunch eating the crab apples and they sure are a here today gone tomorrow thing.

I've only run into one woolly worm this fall but he thought it will be a cold start into winter and then another cold snap right before spring. He was mostly grayish with long guard hair , I don't know if that if means anything to anyone or if it should be in the worthless information thread.

All I know for sure is when I was a kid in pre computer days old timers took great pride in predicting winters and winter was the talk of the town this time of the year.

We have a lot in are yard right now. When the berry's are gone they will leave. 2 yrs ago we had lots of berry's and had 3 winter. The sump pump would flow about 20 ft from the house. When the water would flow they would go down and it would be a big bird bath for them. It would be a blizzard and the weather didn't bother them.

Yeah, there's a certain percent that are here through the winter. Not sure if they are local birds or if it's the crew from their most northern extent in Canada-land, but I have had some at my place and there are plenty around the Capitol here in Bismarck all through winter.
