Soaring Sourwood


One of the brightest trees around here, deserving special mention, is the Sourwood. They get really bright red and stand out against the yellow leaves of the Eastern Birch. The one pictured here is in front of the Caretaker's Cabin, facing the maintenance area.
We saw a nuthatch this afternoon -- our favorite winter bird which we do not see in Florida. Black and blue with a white breast, combined with the unusual ability to march head-first down a tree trunk -- no belaying necessary. Winter is coming soon, folks.
