Traditionally, scarecrows are human figures placed in fields to discourage birds from feeding on crops. But these days they are more often used to celebrate autumn.
Some alternate names for scarecrows are: Mommet, Hodmedod, Tattie bogle, Flay-crow, Mawpin, Bird-scarer, Moggy, Shay and Bogeyman.

These are marvelous. No reason to be scared.
I didn't realize they did that. Very cool!
The first one is so pretty!
I love visiting Tucson Botanical Gardens. These are fantastic scarecrows, very creative and artistic. We could definitely use one or two in our yard when we overseed. Where IS that great horned owl when I need him?!LOL!
I used to see scarecrow a long time ago, birds must be educated enough now, scarecrows are no more seen in the paddy fields.
We have plenty of Scare crows at our place, mainly to guard our paddy field.
These are very unique scarecrows, and fantastic photos, Diane!
