On a beautiful cool, dew-laden sunny morning, nine members set out to walk the loop in this gem of a reserve. Over 35 species of wildflowers and shrubs were seen and identified with a great deal of help from the reluctant leader: Carole Donaldson. Bird observation played second fiddle to plants.
Highlights of the walk were: spotting a stand off between a Preying mantis and a small Garter snake, in a thick dogwood. We weren’t sure who was wanting to avoid whom. There are too many plant species seen to mention them all, we saw two species of false foxgloves, four different species of sunflowers, several goldenrods, American Groundnut, Butterfly Milkweed and Tall Ironweed
