First Week of September
Ospreys begin moving south.
Trees with leaves suck a huge amount of water from the soil. If it’s not too rainy, conditions for logging may be excellent from now until leaf fall.
A cold front followed by gentle northwest winds will trigger many migratory birds to head south; look for hawks above the ridges, songbirds in the woods.
Timber rattlesnakes are returning to their ancestral hibernacula to bask in the autumn sun before turning in for the winter.
Second Week of September
Time to look for recipes that use a lot of green tomatoes.
The northern fall field cricket is silenced by the first hard frost, unless it gets into the house. If that happens, the once-lovely song may become annoying.
Warbler migration is underway, but their confusing autumn plumage and relative silence make identification difficult for most of us.
Early signs of the rut among white-tailed deer, with bucks establishing hierarchies of dominance.
