Notes and Changes since last report

  • It was 70°F, partly cloudy and blustery at 2:30 PM on May 20, 2020.
  • This week's trail report covers the Cary Pines Trail side of the trail system.
  • It's finally been feeling like spring with sunny days and temperatures in the 60s and 70s.
  • A few butterflies have been showing up: tiger swallowtail, cabbage white, clouded sulphur.

The Trails

  • Gaywings has to be one of the strangest flowers on the planet.
  • By now, Canada mayflower had begun to bloom.
  • Scattered among them was starflower.
  • Both the leaves and the flowers look like stars to me.
  • Along with the occasional partridgeberry, all the above mingled among Pennsylvania sedge would make the perfect no-mow lawn in a woodland setting.
  • At the corner of the Fern Glen parking lot, a pink shrub was glowing in the afternoon sun.
  • It was pink azalea.
  • In the Roeller Bed, along the road, striped maple was blooming.
  • Below, so too was Jacob's ladder.
  • Now maidenhair fern looked like the picture in the book; We've been following it since its fiddleheads first appeared.
  • Large-flowered trillium was turning from white to pink. I always like to say, we should all age so gracefully.
  • As if too shy, nodding trillium tends to hide under its own leaves.
  • With a little coaxing a good view can still be had.
  • Along the pond, newly blooming golden ragwort was being visited by the first white-striped black of the season - a little day-flying moth.
  • In the shrub swamp, blueberry buds had opened.
  • Off the trail along the embankment, wild columbine was blooming.
  • All along, a veery had been watching...
  • ...watching a chipmunk watching me. It would peek at me then disappear only to pop up again a few feet away from a different hole.
  • There were a few nice stands of foamflower.
  • At a glance it might resemble bishop's cap, but a closer look will remove any doubt.
  • The carefully followed pink lady's slipper of our Phenology Trail was up and bearing flower buds.
  • In the farthest corned of the Glen, wild sarsaparilla was looking just a little like poison ivy...
  • ...except for the flower.
  • Also on the Phenology Trail was yellow lady's slipper...
  • ... also with swelling flower bud.
  • In a number of places, false Soloman's seal was preparing to bloom.
  • Next week for sure, limber honeysuckle will be open. Watch for hummingbirds here.
  • In the back of the field guide to the ferns, one will find horsetails.
  • Near the Fern Glen kiosk, choke cherry was blooming.
  • On the way back to the Gifford House parking lot there is an interesting little hedge row.
  • The first item was fothergilla.
  • Buckeye was just a little farther along the way.
  • In the parking lot, a constant stream of different bird calls was coming from a northern mockingbird.
  • Around the parking lot, several varieties of lilacs were starting to bloom.
  • One was laden with blossoms.
  • A smaller one was nearer to Gifford House.
  • It was much darker in color and very fragrant.
  • In the meantime, way across the parking lot, a red-tailed hawk gave but a passing glance.
  • Next week: The Wappinger Creek Trail side of the trail system.
