The plants in the area have either lost all of their leaves or turned a darker shade of orange. However, the conifers such as the few Eastern White Pine and a few other woody plants are the only present green plants. It is clear that the trees are preparing for the incoming winter. There is a big difference in temperature from the first visit near the beginning of October. The air is much more crisp.

 

A lot less rain and the water level in the stream is lower

 

There has been many signs of wildlife such as deer tracks (in the past, deers have been spotted very often). In addition, many squirrels and chipmunks nest on the grounds and trees surrounding the brook. However, on this cooler evening, it was relatively quiet. There are signs of wildlife such as tracks, but no active noises.  There were also fish fries in the water during the warmer summer and early fall months, but there are none now.
