The best of fall

Despite some rainy and windy weather, there have been a few days that were great for photography.

Here is a sample of photos - most have illustrated articles, news items and announcements here at PSO over the past few weeks.

I hope you had time to get outside. Fall is on its way out - and quickly.

A flock of ducks - mostly green-winged teal - lifts off from the north pool of the Chautauqua National WIldlife Refuge north of Havana.

A buck at the edge of the woods surrounding Lake Springfield.

Photographed through tree branches gives this scene of ducks and geese taking flight from Lake Chautauqua a painterly quality.
