March 14 - a single bloom

Post date: Mar 14, 2012 10:36:07 PM

77 degrees today- warm weather is early this year.

The woodland floor is mostly clear and dark except for a single cluster of several blooms found on a south-facing slope..... Sharp-Lobed Hepatica.

You win! First up in 2012.

The birds are migrating through and scouting nesting sites- red-tailed hawk, wild turkey, blue bird, cardinal, chickadee, sandhill crane- all a welcome sight!
