It’s been a little less than two weeks since I have last ventured to my location, and not too much has changed. The color of the foliage has slightly started to shift from the previous dark green to more muted colors. However, the Red Maple’s leafs stood out with their vibrant red and orange coloring. With limited leaves falling, the density of the foliage and canopy was relatively the same to my previous visit.
This floodplain forest inhibits quite a bit of wildlife. Although I did not see any birds, their sounds radiated through the trees and multiple of their nests were visible in the branches. Numerous squirrels were running around the ground and others jumping from tree branch to tree branch, gathering food to prepare the colder months ahead. Closer to the riverbank, tiny toads lurked. These creatures buried themselves deep under the fallen leaves, only revealing themselves after making noises.
