A quiet beginning


Roaring Brook, running high and fast.

Monday afternoon was sunny and cool, perfect for a walk through the back woods, along Roaring Brook and down to the Willimantic River.


Euonymus alatus, fruit

Jorge, with Max and Sebastian, saw:
Red-tailed Hawk, Buteo jamaicensis, very high in the sky
Downy Woodpecker, Picoides pubescens, was hammering high in a hickory tree, dropping nuts as it worked
Yellow-rumped Warbler, Dendroica coronata, a few, feeding high in the canopy
American Robin, Turdus migratorius, a small flock
Blue Jay, Cyanocitta cristata
American Crow, Corvus brachyrhynchos
Sebastian on his favorite mossy log.
