“You will come to learn a great deal if you study the insignificant in depth.” –Odysseas Elytis
Many deciduous trees turning yellow. In bloom now are invasive weeds: wild chicory, Queen Ann’s lace, sweet peas, dandelions. At one point at Joe Dancer a busy flock of Bushtits moved through the short trees and brush along the trail.
The light drizzle begins about 11:20 AM. It lasts about half an hour. This may signal the end of the long summer drought.
Large flock (>20) of American Goldfinches at feeders. The garden spider webs are scattered across garden shrubs and lower branches of trees.
