Back to Fall

It was a lot cooler today. And somehow, the trees looked like Fall.  Even though leaves have been turning, the overall look was green until today, when there was more of a bronze tone.  Also, the wind thinned leaves and made branches easier to see.  The tail of what I suspect was a mockingbird stuck out f the beauty berry as the bush shook from the bird's effort to pull off a berry. 

Titmice joined chickadees at the seed feeder and one suddenly landed on the door handle and peered in at me.  It didn't stay for a photo.  I spotted a male red bellied woodpecker on a dogwood trunk in the second before it zipped off.  A blue jay landed on the feeder hanger briefly.  Then a female downy woodpecker came for seeds.

When I went out after dark to brick the feeder, a young crescent moon was overhead, among passing clouds.
