Crescent Beach has changed significantly since I last visited. As with all other deciduous trees in Vermont, the leaves have changed, now showing colors of yellow and red. Many leaves have fallen off already. Since we have had a lot of rain recently, the shoreline has returned to its normal area after being receded for most of the summer. Many shrubs have started to shrivel and sink. There are no signs of any tadpoles or minnows as there were while it was still warm, with the lower shoreline that isolated areas suitable for their growth no longer there. There are also less birds and insects. Overall, there has been a sharp decrease in life at this isolated beach, and I expect this trend to continue as I continue to visit and the weather becomes more harsh and unsuitable. (Sorry for the image being upside down I do not know how to flip it).
