Forest view above the pond

 

The forest changes through the seasons, and here you can see the way that fog and chill have muted the colors above the pond.  Moss grows on the trees, mushrooms sprout up, and all the creatures of the forest come to drink and make nests.  

A small group of water fowl breeds here, including herons, kingfisher, and some different types of ducks.

This forest is a bird-watcher's paradise.  

 In early spring, a cacophony of birdsong rises with the light to awaken your spirit to the joys of nature and renewal.  Finches, woodpeckers, jays, hawks, and every other type of bird create nests and raise their young in a wonderful display of wild life.  In winter, the scene is different:  the many frogs are in hibernation, and the lizards and salamanders creep under shelter to hide and sleep through the cold and damp times.  They are the first to awaken at the end of dormancy.
