June 30th, continued. Some of the Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) at Cranberry Bog; mid-afternoon after my trip to the Transfer Station.

 

 

 

 

 

Hah! Among the worst pictures I've taken on the trail. (There are plenty of others, of course.) Taking the picture from far across the pond, I had no idea that the bird was behind that brown stuff.

 

That's better. And that's the usual resident Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodius) with the stump of it's damaged tongue sticking out of it's throat.

 

Lots of pink Sweet Peas (Lathyrus odoratus)...

 

 

 

 

 

...and a few mostly white ones.

 

Lesser Stitchwort (Stellaria graminea), a Chickweed.

 

Pokeweed or just Poke (Phytolacca americana) is starting to bloom.

 

July 1st. After 4 days off (including the weekend), work has begun again at Old Colchester Road. The pumps have drained the gravel bed...

 

...and a flat bed trailer was being unloaded on the far side of the stream.

 

No idea where these metal forms will go, but there were a lot of them.

 

Attaching lifting straps...

 

 

 

...and up goes the load...

 

...to be deposited at the edge of the work area until needed.
