Fallen

 1:30 to 2:30pm, 54 Degrees, Sunny to Cloudy, Wind 14 N, 29.66 rise

The Downy Woodpecker, above, is looking for the leaves. They are all on the ground. Well, most of them are. A rainy weekend. i got out Saturday for a half an hour. Not much going on before the rain drove me back in. Did not sit Sunday. I have not seen the Blue Jays since Friday. I believe they are year round in The Little Forrest. 

With the leaves down I can see much further than before. I can tell birds are flying to Unit 5. I can not see a feeder because of tree trunks, However there is a lot of activity from the east side of Fall Brook up to Number 5. Birds were to small and fast for me to identify. Most likely sparrows, finches, chickadees. It is nice to see something new. Also, there are a lot of dreys visible now. Dreys are squirrel nests. It seems to me squirrels pick spots that hold their leaves longer. 

Merlin Identified 10 species. I saw 3 of those. The downy was not identified, I also saw herring gulls.
