I promised to post a picture of a Redwood leaf. They have needles, but tend to fall off the trees as branches. If they fell as just needles they wouldn't make such a mess.

This morning the back yard was full of Robins, dozens of them. I also saw a Western Jay. The back yard is a cacophony of bird songs.
