sustenance

Seed pods on the thistle plants have been open for some time. The gold finches love them. As a couple of readers on this blog mentioned, the sumac plant has another important characteristic besides intense red leaves in the fall. The seeds from their conical pods provide important sustenance for birds well into the fall and winter. Corn being harvested in a field in West Rutland.
