It looks like you've uploaded an image of a "Fall Trivia" game, which includes 15 multiple-choice questions about autumn-related topics such as nature, culture, and science. While I can't directly view or analyze images, I can help solve the trivia based on the text you've provided.
Let’s go through each question and provide the correct answers with explanations:
---
1. The full moon closest to Autumn Equinox is called:
- Answer: c. Harvest Moon
- Explanation: The Harvest Moon is the full moon that occurs nearest to the autumn equinox (around September 22–23). It gets its name because it historically helped farmers work late into the night during harvest season.
---
2. Autumn Equinox occurs in the Northern Hemisphere on September:
- Answer: b. 22nd or 23rd
- Explanation: The autumn equinox typically falls on September 22 or 23 in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the beginning of fall when day and night are approximately equal in length.
---
3. Which of these birds does not migrate south in Autumn?
- Answer: a. Hummingbirds
- Explanation: While most hummingbirds (like Ruby-throated) do migrate south, some species remain year-round in warmer regions. However, among the choices listed, hummingbirds are the least likely to migrate compared to robins and swallows. But note: Robins actually *do* migrate, and swallows are known migrators. So this one is tricky—hummingbirds are often considered non-migratory in certain areas, but many do migrate. However, in typical trivia context, hummingbirds are sometimes cited as not migrating, though this isn't universally true. A better answer might be “none,” but given options, a. Hummingbirds is best here.
> ⚠️ Note: This question may have a flaw. Most hummingbird species *do* migrate. If we assume the intent is to identify a bird that stays put, perhaps the intended answer is Hummingbirds, but it's misleading.

6. What color do the leaves of Sugar Maple Trees change to in the fall?
