A walk in the woods

I am linking up with  Mosaic Monday  and Our World Tuesday

I can not believe how fast the week is going, and it is hard to believe it is Sunday already.  I have some photos of recent scenes from our local walk in the woods. As I am walking I am seeing the leaves falling, being a birder seeing movement automatically draws my attention. Sometimes I look from a distance at what I believe is a male cardinal in a tree and it turns out to be a red leaf. Are the leaves falling earlier this year? We are lucky to live near a pine forest so we have green year round which I love.

 Above are some of the scenes I saw last week while taking a walk. There are all kinds of berries, some of the berries I recognize are the pretty purple Devil's Walking stick berries, there are still some wild flowers blooming, a few different flycatchers showing up, some warblers are moving south and my pretty favorite.. the Red-Breasted Nuthatch.

The fireroad going thru the pine trees, the grass seems to be growing fast and hopefully they will come and cut it soon.

I am not sure if this is one of those confusing fall warblers or a flycatcher or could it be a vireo?

I am not sure what kind of berries these are but if the birds like them I like them too. The splash of bright red is pretty.

These are the Devil's walking stick berries and the warblers seem to love them.

The Gray Catbirds also seem to love the berries.

I always love to see any kind of wildflowers along the trails.

The Red-Breasted Nuthatch seem to be all over the woods near my house. They makes the cutest sounds.


I hope you enjoyed my walk and photos.
