Fall is in full swing this month! Saddleback caterpillars prepare to pupate, winter ducks arrive along the coast, and Hermit Thrushes wing their way south. Cranberries ripen in bogs, black bears feast on fruits and berries, and woodchucks get ready for true hibernation. Mid-month, Connecticut’s fall foliage reaches its peak while the skies light up with the Orionid Meteor Shower. Keep an eye out for witch hazel's yellow spindly flowers, wood frogs preparing to freeze solid to survive winter, and tamaracks glowing golden before shedding their needles.
