Natural History Wanderings

Superior National Forest has a new fall color report for 9/20/16

Fall is creeping forward at about 5% of peak.  Moose maple, hazel, bush honeysuckle, wild sarsaparilla, and large leafed asters are all changing color in the understory.  Most canopy trees are still green, with a few branches or leaves colored.  High winds with a small craft advisory, and a thunderstorm took down many of the colored leaves this past weekend, but there are lots of green leaves left which are starting to change rapidly.
