With night temperatures in the forties the past few days, it’s no wonder we’re seeing the first signs of fall color change in southeastern Michigan woods.
At Oakwoods Metropark in New Boston, Michigan, I saw early fall color change on sumac and understory plants in the oak-hickory forest.
It was lovely to see the bright purples of the New England Asters as well as the beautiful yellow goldenrod.
No signs of fall raspberries could be found.
Birds seemed to be hiding except at the birdfeeders next to the nature center, where Red-breasted Nuthatches enjoyed a late afternoon meal.
