We shouldn’t imagine that juncos in September are a sign of a harsh winter on the way. Juncos move at their own pace, and it is set more by the amount of daylight and the availability of food.

More Than $640,000 Awarded to County Environmental Projects
More than $640,000 in grant funding has been awarded to 15 environmental projects in Montgomery County, officials announced Sunday.
“Great start to #EarthWeek!” County Executive Marc Elrich wrote on Twitter.
“These awards provide funds directly to Montgomery County organizations and communities for projects that will help clean our air and water,” County Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Director Adam Ortiz said in a release. The projects are part of the county’s Watershed Restoration and Outreach Grant Program, which “funds public outreach and stewardship projects, community-based restoration water quality implementation projects and litter reduction projects in the Anacostia River Watershed,” according to the county.
THE Wharfedale Naturalists’ Society has lost its longest serving member, Nevil Bowland, who has died at the age of 90. The Society was founded in October 1945 and Nevil became a schoolboy member before the end of that year. From as early as he could remember Nevil was interested in all aspects of natural history and could often be seen in his spare time wandering around the village of Menston, where his father was the village policeman, looking and learning about everything from flowers to birds. Eventually Nevil married Audrey and they settled in the house in Guiseley where they lived for the rest of their lives bringing up their three children. Nevil had several jobs in his working career, the last one being running his own horticultural business concentrating on alpine plants.
