Fall seems to have come early to the Sanctuary with some trees dropping leaves early, but some trees are showing spectacular colour.  A lot of our migratory birds have left, but you can still see the regular standbys like chickadees, nuthatches, and blue jays.  Occasionally you may hear the call of Sandhill Cranes flying far overhead and there has also been an odd moose sighting in the meadow areas.  Even if you don’t see a moose directly, you may see their large crescent-shaped tracks in the soft earth or see where they have been pawing alongside the trails.
