Spring is late in arriving

Squam Swamp May 1

Emerging Fiddleheads
 Walk on Friday,  May 1.

The swamp is coming back to life!  On Sunday, Andrew McKenna Foster of the Maria Mitchell  tells me about the 4 toed salamanders that are uniqut to Nantucket and Squam Swamp,  but I missed them on my Friday walk.

No sounds of Great Crested Flycatcher yet;  just the chickadees...
A Mayflower
