Gentle rain, Coprinus and leaves starting to fall

Gentle 0.68 in rain yesterday and last night. The West Pond is up to 0.45 foot and was quiet.. no dragonflies this evening. It was cool, high 50's. The East Pond is 0.05 foot. I thought I heard a frog call by the East Pond. No turtles visible.
One whitetail heading east near the Bur Oak bridge. Water flowing slowly past the Elm Bridge.
Near whitewash location on TransOWP .. and closer to second largest cottonwood a squawk from a great blue heron I disturbed roosting in the tree tops. A young mid size (red-shouldered?) hawk fluttered a short distance.. mottled breast, short juvenile(?)
tail same location.. just west of the second largest cottonwood.
Bright rich red Virginia Creeper Parthenosiscus leaves are starting to fall.. as are light butter yellow green ash leaves. Odd phenology this autumn with some trees reflushing new leaves early autumn after heat of summer.

30 + Coprinus comatus -like shaggy manes all over woods northeast of Beaver Dam. Great cluster of them around dead elm with bark starting to shuff off.

I refreshed white paint trail blazes. Cleared a fair amount of new fallen small branches/ small trees across trail from storm. Check NWS Mesonet and see what precip they recorded for the storm on Jenkins.

Earlier in week, Monday 24 Oct Liz and Jobin and I walked Ravine Trail to Northern Loop to Creekside Trail to Elm Bridge.. west to Fence Corner, Two Pecan Trail, Trans OWP and back out via Ponds Trail looking at big trees with potential as distinctly different snail habitats.. under different spp. of trees. Along the foot of the escarpment east and west of big tree #148 Liz commented abundant grass Chasmanthium 'fish on a line' on the slope indicated the area of a seep.
