Had a good walk in the woods. Found a bird band with bones still attached. Found a nice sized burl in a cedar tree. Cleared a trail that was made impassable due to broken trees from the 1998 Great Ice Storm. I can now walk to the clearing among the cedars. Found a bush with some very bright red and orange berries that will probably look nice in a Christmas wreath.

Bird band: It is an aluminum ring with a blue turquoise plastic outer sleeve and bones inside, probably the remains of scats of a predator which could be a hawk most likely, or a fox or coyote. The inscription on the band reads as follows CU GTR 2002 2279.
