Wednesday's Walk

 

It's a lovely day for a walk.

The oaks are shedding leaves, and galls,

and acorns. Can you see the acorn?

Licorice ferns are rejuvenating

 Some of autumn's rewards:

I'm seeing and hearing Ruby-crowned Kinglets regularly.

They are difficult to photograph as they flit around and are rarely stationary.

The Bewick's Wren likes suet and is easier to photograph. 

Love, love, love the striped tail feathers.

Suet consumption!
