The days may still be on the warm side, but fall has officially arrived now that the ruddies are back on Mehrhof Pond in Little Ferry.
   We saw more than 40 of the early arrivals there the other day.
   A month from now, there could be 1,000 or more.
   There is an entrance to the pond just before you get to the BCUA gatehouse.
   These ruddies were a shy bunch, so a spotting scope would be ideal for viewing.
