Summer green has given way to an autumnal explosion of color on this climbing vine which means this bird will soon depart its summer home for southern destinations. This feathered beauty was a shy resident, preferring to hop around behind the cover of leaves and branches, but the neighborhood got to know it nonetheless through its daily songs. When Mother Nature awakens in the spring and restores the bird's sanctuary, the village knows the bird's lullabies will soon return as well.
