Colors

A White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis). This bird had just lived up its name: wedging a seed into the bark of this tree, the bird hammered the seed with its chisel bill. Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) showing itself capable of standing up to this fall’s magnificent colors.Monk Parakeets (Myiopsitta monachus), excellent raptor food.Another colorful exotic, Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum). No filter, as the kids like to say. (On my Instagram, you can compare the colors of three side-by-side J-maples in Green-Wood.)
