- We started with the Old Hayfields and went round the Sedge Meadow Trail where the Old Oak and fungus were slowly being engulfed by garlic mustard.
- Just as the Old Pasture enters the woods of the Wappingers Creek, a cranberry spanworm moth led me on a slow chase.
- As opposed to the week before, it was nice to get out of the sun and into the shade along the Creek.
- A single peculiarly carved leaf caught our attention. It was bloodroot; note the seed pod.
- Where did I spot that fungus that looked like a pink caterpillar in snow? Somewhere on the Cary Pines Trail.
- The beard tongue was blooming early in the Old Gravel Pit.
- And I got home just a little early myself today.
