After visiting the woods, it has become evident that autumn is coming to an end. The canopy of oranges and yellows have mostly fallen to the ground and cover the trails. Some maples are still in the process of changing, yet most of the hardwoods have reached their peak and are cleared of leaves. The ground cover is still existent and most shrubs in the understory are still alive, but covered in dead leaves.
Squirrels and chipmunks are seen gathering nuts and scurrying in the trees, yet activity is minimal. Few birds were seen at the tree tops and flying above canopy, however no larger game or animals were seen.
