Critters and Beasties of Moberly Lake
The author observes a diverse array of wildlife around Moberly Lake as autumn approaches. Chipmunks fatten on hips while gathering nesting material, vireos feed in honeysuckle, juncos and young purple finches forage, merlin hunts from maple cover, and hawks keep distance when humans nearby. A bald eagle and its chick fish near a garden pump, with the adult often keeping prey for itself. Five blue jays visit feeders as robins fly along the ravine, while bees cluster near willows and beach area as late-summer behavior surprises the observer. Birds sing less as fall arrives, reflecting territory and mating cycles.
