Driving down 95 by Lake Saltonstall, the whole hillside was dull oranges and reds. I've never seen such widespread color this early. Trees are stressed, man. If we don't get some decent rain soon, it's going to cause problems.
First sign of the changing season out here is the birds. Haven’t seen a single catbird since arriving yesterday, but the trees are thick with redstarts, kinglets, flycatchers and creepers.
I had to flee the desolate wastelands of Hamden for Fishers today. Just two things to say: 1) It’s gorgeous out today. 2) I can’t believe just how warm the Sound is. Thought I was in Sarasota or something.
