As summer days shorten, the earliest winter birds arrive. Keen observers may witness small flocks of Phalaropes swimming in dizzy circles in our quiet ponds. As we walk through vibrant fields of yellow goldenbush, we may spot a colorful Argiope spider patiently waiting in the center of her neat, tidy web or an emerald-colored green lynx spider, hidden against the foliage, waiting to ambush a passing bee.
