March 26, 2011 Nature Walk

Very cold and windy, probably in the mid-20's, not an ideal weather day for nature.  We heard red belly woodpeckers, and saw a song sparrow (not singing.)  Lots of beautiful green moss, some of it reproducing with fruiting bodies so thick it looked like the moss had a head of hair.  More interesting fungal growths on dead logs along pathway, some of it orange and some of it white.  Shortest walk of the year!

Nature Walk Fri. Nov. 26, 2010

Three flocks of sandhill cranes were sighted at 9:00am flying over the Dundee Library.  Beautiful, cold, but sunny day ; not many birds.  One downed log with white shell fungus and gray lichens decorating it.  Next Dundee Library nature walk will be March 26, 2011.
