November arrived as a cold, overcast, windy day and there was not much wildlife moving around (and no insects at all). All around me I noticed signs of autumn and I decided to try to capture the feeling of the changing season at my local marsh. I took lots of photos of the fall foliage, but somehow I liked this image best as a graphic depiction of autumn at my favorite marsh.

That does say fall. The red winged blackbirds will have plenty of nesting material in the spring.
There was a small flock of red-winged blackbirds in the marsh yesterday, though they were hanging out in the trees and not in the cattails.
