Spent a couple of hours this afternoon scouting for orchids on Rock Run and at the head of the Millenium trail. No such luck. Saw 2 snakes on Rock Run, one medium, dusky and banded, the other thin and bright green. Saw a wild ginger in bloom. 2 Jack-in-the-pulpits. Pictures of all.This evening I walked down to the creek. I think my 'river otter' might be a woodchuck, owing to its fair sized ears. Saw a Tiger Swallowtail and Spicebush Swallowtail feeding.
A Great Crested Flycatcher was apparently calling to a young one to watch his step. Heard both a Phoebe and a Common Yellowthroat. Saw 2 lizards M+F about where the woodcheck burrow must be. They were sunning on a rock with the male climbing on top for a bit. Clear stripes on the female. Very bright orange underside of male's head.
