August 03, 2016

Notes and Changes since last report

  • It was 75°F, partly cloudy and calm with low humidity at 12:45 PM on August 3, 2016.
  • This week's trail report covers the Wappinger Creek Trail side of the trail system.
  • There had been some needed rain a few days ago - plants and butterflies were happier today.
  • Spicebush swallowtails were out in numbers I've never seen before.

The Trails

  • Last week, the front Old Hayfield at Gifford House's goldenrod had started blooming.
  • Hope was found in the back back corner: a monarch caterpillar - their numbers are reported to have dropped some 80% over 2 decades. Plant milkweed!
  • Tiger swallowtails were well represented today.
  • One Peck's skipper scooted along the path in front of me.
  • On the Sedge Meadow Trail, boneset was beginning to bloom.
  • A little bee was feeding in the crown.
  • In the back Old Hayfield, a tattered common wood-nymph paused to soak up some sun.
  • Spicebush swallowtails were all over the wild bergamot... and each other.
  • We most often see the male, with powdery blue on the hind wing.
  • The female is less often encountered and has a real, honest blue - a metalic blue, though it's a little hard to tell here in the shaddow.
  • The steep descent of the Wappinger Creek Trail had a couple sunny spots; I always slow down and scan them before entering.
  • This one was being staked out by a couple well worn eastern commas, and patrolled by a spicebush swallowtail.
  • Another good spot to look for butterflies is just past the bottom of the slope where there is a view over the embankment.
  • It's not a bad spot for birds either - a mix of red-eyed vireos and tufted titmice had adults and noisy young of each.
  • I'd forgotten about the fungus by the Watersheds kiosk.
  • It was a good size, but it seemed that it should have been bigger... and in a different spot?
  • I meant to keep tabs on the growth, but the last time I looked was May 25.
  • Down in the flood plain, wood nettle had been flowering for a while.
  • But now, the female flowers were beginning to look like they were forming seeds.
  • The male flowers below still looked new.
  • Nearby was the common Indian tobacco.
  • As a lobelia the blossom is pretty, if small.
  • It's a great view from the bench at the Appendix, as I like to call the loop around Trail Markers 10 and 11.
  • Those sandy mounds, too big for ant hills, were back.
  • And for once, there was activity... a little head poked out.
  • In a moment, a bee or wasp climbed out...
  • ... shook off...
  • ... and was gone.
  • And then, so was I. Next week: the Cary Pines Trail side of the trail system.
