A UVM blog Redstone Quarry

Leaves Falling and Colder Temps

There was actually quite a lot that changed in the vegetation around the Redstone Quarry in the past two weeks. Most of the trees are starting to lose their leaves, and the barberry that was on the ground was almost completely bare.

I also noticed that there were quite a lot of birds in the area along with squirrels climbing around in the trees. The two species of bird I found were a Bluejay and a Nothern Flicker. They were all frequenting the trees, but the Nothern Flicker came over to the Upper Rock level that I was standing on to poke around for a little bit.

One of the great parts about the Redstone Quarry is that it is in the middle of a residential area, which means it is really easy to get to!
