Field Notes May 17th-26th,2009

May 17th, 2009:
-Are those those gooseberry bushes? They have enormous thorns.



May 18th, 2009:
-6:30am, overcast and still. Raucous birdsong breaks the morning.

May 19th, 2009:
-We saw a hawk (missing a few feathers), and hawthorne in bloom + the bleeding hearts make the forest enchanting. ~Ella and Mama

May 24th, 2009:
-Bushtit seen near wetland loop feeding in a tree. Bleeding heart still bleeding.

May 26th, 2009:
-11pm clear and starry evening: Twinberry blooming (Lonicera involucrate) by creek bridge. A couple bats flitting around. What happened to the Etheridge entrance sign? Waterleaf blossoms complementing the bleeding heart. Love the duck crossing sign on Pine Street. Berries and fruit looking tart on bushes and trees.

Gooseberry-Spotter, Can you describe where you saw the potential gooseberry? I would like to try to identify this plant. Thanks, Willow
