We are seeing signs of an early Fall, but then we have had record, prolonged hot weather here in Southeast Alaska this year. Our fireweed is just about done blooming (almost a full month early), we have large flocks of puddle ducks in the area (something you usually don't notice until September), the silvers are running stronger than normal (and seem to be earlier than usual). People are telling me that their hummingbirds have already left the feeders and the area. I'm hoping it just means it will be a longer Summer and Fall, but only time will tell.
