The days have been decidedly cooler, with the result that we are all lingering a little longer beside the fires in the main cabins. There have been other signs of autumn as well: a large maple behind the Bray Blacksmith Shop took on a yellow hue almost overnight a couple of days ago; another bald eagle was spotted drifting overhead in high languid circles, moving south; and yesterday a flock of bluebirds flew through, passing within a few yards of the open gate of the fort, and settling in for a time in the trees around the wigwam.
