Wednesday standouts

Today's notables include a good bird for each of our two primary greenspaces.

At Greenwood cemetery Dellwater, in the Granny Smith apple tree , a Philadelphia Vireo put in an appearance.

Switching over to prospect, an afternoon tweet from birder "Berenger" asking for bird id actually found a juvenile Red headed woodpecker along the Ravine stream just before the Boulder Bridge. Oak trees here are favorites for redheads..

"It is the glistening autumnal side of summer. I feel a cool vein in the breeze, which braces my thought, and I pass with pleasure over sheltered and sunny portions of the sand where the summer's heat is undiminished, and I realize what a friend I am losing." – Henry David Thoreau
