Some more images from Huron. Sorry I haven't learned to do a better job of formatting text with images. From top to bottom:
* What the place looks like in late summer.
* The scene on April 25 at my back buttonbush pool, with a bed of Carex bromoides (Blunt Broom Sedge) in bloom with a few Marsh Marigolds interspersed.
* A Carex bromoides plant in full bloom.
* Marsh Marigolds in bloom. There are extensive beds of these around the pools.
* Yellow Water Crowfoot (Ranunculus flabellaris) in bloom in a little pool right beside my campsite.
* A little group of Ranunculus flabellaris in bloom
Over the last month I have heard the breding calls of the following species in the front Buttonbush pool: Western Chorus Frog, Spring Peeper, Wood Frog, Northern Leopard Frog, Gray Treefrog, American Toad, and Green Frog. Music to my ears!
On the morning of April 26 I saw and heard many warblers, including Yellow, Yellow-rumped, and American Redstart. There were Swamp Sparrows, very active Flickers and Downy Woodpeckers, and a courting pair of Rose-breasted Grossbeaks were streaking around all over the place, flying right past my ear!
