Bittinger 2nw Valley

Since the last leaf update on Saturday, a significant amount of maple leaf drop has occured, and a fair amount of birch. These colors are dropping while minimal change in the Oaks. This gives a less colorful appearance, and a bit more green noticeable with the maple drop. Birch are of a vibrant yellow, but falling. Beech is a mix of their rusty appearance and some green and some have dropped. Hickory is yellow/Brown, some drop, some pockets of greens. Cherry has pretty well dropped, typical.
