On my most recent visit to my spot, it was obvious that things are quickly changing. The trees have fewer leaves, the leaves that remain are browning, the grasses are drying, the flowers are wilting off and milkweed is spreading seeds.
Again, I saw footprints from humans and dogs but couldn’t find much live wildlife except for some small birds (that I unfortunately couldn’t get good pictures of), a frog, grey squirrels and another red squirrel that I saw while it was digging. I did however see some nests exposed by the leaves coming off of the trees.
