Nature Walk Library Springs 5/21/11

Ferns in Library Springs
Humid, mild morning with sprinkles of rain.  Heard and observed 3 indigo buntings, calls of red bellied woodpeckers, robins, song sparrows, and flocks of blue jays.  The ferns are up, including my favorite sensitive fern, and the largest jack-in-the pulpit plants I have ever seen- it's like they are on steroids or something.  Thanks to all the hard working Dundee Township local volunteers who "clean-up" Library Springs by planting, burning, weeding and  propagating the wonderful plants and trees that attract such a rich abundance of wildlife.  We really appreciate it!
