| Swamp Azalea at Stump Pond on July 4th |
Getting off the boat on Friday, it was immediately clear that it is Privet Time in Nantucket. Nantucket's smells define the progession of the seasons. Over the 4th of July, it was Swamp Azalea time, with its deep and rich scent in the wet places. The advantage of Privet aroma is that it is all over the isle!

The great crested flycatcher, eastern wood pee-wee, and red-eyed vireos were out in force in Squam Swamp. Also some towhees, a cardinal and some chickadees. They were eating the skeeters that bit me.
Josh and I went hunting for Wood Lilies in the Middle Moors today. But no such luck...maybe later in the month. High bush blueberries also not ripe at Mirror Pond. But a wonderful nothern Harrier some False Indigo and early Sickle Leaves Asters.
