Some of the birds that I was able to observe today include:

• Blue Jay
• Downy Woodpecker
• Carolina Wren
• Tufted Titmouse
• Red-breasted Nuthatch
• American Goldfinch
• Black-capped Chickadee

Most of these were identified by their calls and I managed to get the call of the Carolina Wren as an audio recording. You can listen to it below.

I also observed a bunch of areas in the ground that looked like circles in the fallen needles. I am taking a guess to say that these are spots where squirrels have buried seeds for the winter because of the pinecones next to the spot, but I am not entirely sure.
