Windswept Cranberry Bog May 10 2014

The Shad (Amelanchier)  are blooming all over the Island.   We missed Daffodil weekend,  but there are still drifts along the roads.  Spring is driving away the long winter.  Water levels in ponds are down from our last visit in late March.  Eiders diving in formation on the ocean off the bluff;  3 Gannets are soaring and diving.

At Windswept bog,  tree swallows and barn swallows swooping and eating insects.  Heard a Great Crested Flycatcher.  Red-winged blackbirds calling.  Wood anemones in the wood;  quaker ladies in the open;  white violets in the bog.
