Yesterday, I could see the fresh colors of the turkey feather wood fungi. They were putting on new growth and they had a bluish tinge. I heard the call of the scarlet tanager, "chick bur," but I couldn't see it. It had been raining most of the morning, and interestingly enough most of the birds were calling instead of singing.
I found the remains of a white mushroom, usually a sign that it is poisonous, broken into three parts.
