Like many have cited here, my hints at the coming season are subtle, but important nonetheless.
Weather fronts are more frequent and dramatic (sometimes pushing the dove out before the season, but ushering in early season teal).
The dove fields have matured and need scouting on cool mornings.
Goldenrod begins to show its yellow glory.
The morning star (actually, Venus) begins to rise just before the sun on my morning walks.
