I enjoy exploring the urban woods and surrounding areas near home.
In mid-autumn the transition to winter has begun. Instead of pretty wildflowers and butterflies, now I see coyotes, deer and a few songbirds. And, there are scary ghosts and other Halloween displays to be spotted in the front of many homes.
It’s one of my favorite times of the year.

Golden-crowned Sparrow

Wooly Bear (if the orange band is narrow, it is supposed to predict a tough winter)

Ferns and Doug Firs along the Marquam Trail

Spooky

Sure signs of fall

Hunters moon
Song Sparrows
So is the band on the Wooly thin or thick??
Lol
It looks somewhat thick to me.
Thanks. I had no way to compare. Haven’t seen one since I was a kid in Redmond (WA).
