Getting pretty bare here in spots...



but the birds keep coming. In only ones and twos this year, but over time it's been enough.



I've certainly had my opportunities though. Walking out yesterday I had 5 birds flush when I was almost back at the truck. I was tired and sore (big evening the night before) and they clearly caught me flat-footed. Every time I'd line up on one, another would launch, which pulled my eyes off-target. I reloaded and stepped into the cover, hoping for one last launch and I got one, but this bird was an acrobat that kept trees between me and him until he (she?) was long out of range. The good news here is that I know there's still a few birds left on that trail.



It's pretty perfect here right now. But...they're calling for snow next week. Fall is ephemeral after all.
