start of winter

With the weather getting colder and homework piling up it is becoming more and more difficult to get outside and observe nature. I have been seeing some things, though. The other day I saw a bird which was identified as a sapsucker, although I don't know which species. Today I decided to take a break and go on a walk around the forests and shore of Friday Harbor Labs. In the forest, I saw plants such as oregon grape and salal. There was a wetland portion of the trail with many wetland plants and thick moss. I heard many frogs but saw none, even though I looked hard. Along the shore, I saw a harbor seal swimming in the water. Overall, it was a nice walk although I didn't observe anything particularly unique or interesting.
