Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Notes and Changes since last report
- It was 50°F, partly cloudy with light winds at 11:00 AM on April 28, 2020.
- This week's trail report covers the Wappinger Creek Trail side of the trail system.
- It's still been cool and wet; spring ephemerals have still been hanging on to their petals.
- Lovelace Drive (by the Fern Glen) is being closed to cars for safety. Walking is welcome with parking at the main building and other designated areas.
The Trails
- On the way to the Gifford House trail head, the Carriage House was picturesque under the clouds.
- There, the grass was green but the trees were still bare.
- The sky behind me was free of pursuing tree swallows; they must be getting used to people.
- Alien purple dead nettle was still in bloom along the edge of the field.
- Above the corner of the field was a thin layer of blossoms.
- Shad bush is a pretty early bloomer.
- At its base were some unremarkable dead stalks from last year's weeds.
- But they were of burdock, the remarkable inspiration for Velcro.
- An eastern bluebird was calling from the tree line farther along.
- Back at the front of the field, a tree swallow seemed to be claiming one of the bird houses.
- A female bluebird seemed to have other ideas.
- Just at the beginning of the Sedge Meadow Trail, invasive garlic mustard was flowering.
- In the Sedge Meadow, things had continued to get taller.
- With two other sedges still in bloom, the possibility of tussock sedge joining in was exciting.
- It looked like it was getting close.
- In the back of the far Old Hayfield, a male yellow-bellied sapsucker was drumming.
- It hung around long enough to present plenty of good views.
- Back on the Sedge Meadow Trail again, violets were scattered along one stretch.
- The Wappinger Creek was full after the recent rains...
- ... full of mallards - about 30 of them.
- Dabblers, rather than divers, they stay on the surface when they feed.
- That was a male.
- A more elegant technique was better suited for feeding closer to the surface.
- That was a female...
- At the bottom of the trail, trout lily was still looking fresh.
- I'd been waiting for the rue anemone to bloom.
- But I'd never noticed it also came with red leaves.
- Finally, a bud, and opening! Pink will fade to white, but that's ok.
- The crotch of a tree made a nice frame to show off the form in an un cluttered view.
- False hellebore was rising farther along the creek bank.
- Something was missing here... barely a stump remained of the dead trunk that always sported big round shelf fungi.
- Nearly invisible, only a slight rustle betrayed it...
- ... a garter snake - the first of probably four that I would encounter this day.
- The creek was really moving along. Time for me to do the same.
- Next week: The Cary Pines Trail side of the trail system.
