    JULY 9, 2013 - In mid-afternoon I spent an hour walking the trail =
around Miner's Marsh in Kentville.=20


    Common milkweed is abundant there and now at its peak of blooming =
with oodles of pink flowers, but no monarch butterflies were seen.  =
Other plants in bloom include yellow loosestrife (not related to purple =
loosestrife), narrow-leaved cattail, bur-reed, oodles of goutweed (nasty =
weed), Canada thistle, hedge bindweed, evening primrose, St. =
John's-wort, knapweed, sulphur or rough-fruited cinquefoil, Deptford =
pink, Queen-Anne's-lace, etc. etc.  =20


    I also noted galls/swellings on willow leaves, possibly from =
sawflies?=20


    Green frogs were calling, but no bull frogs were heard. =20


    Red-winged blackbirds abundant as usual, and I saw a male feed a =
fully fledged juvenile.  A sora rail whinnied close to me at 2:45 p.m., =
a bit east from the small bridge where the cross trail meets the main =
trail.  At one point in my walk, not far in from the big bridge, I =
thought I heard the peeping of young ducklings, but I couldn't see them. =



    Cheers from Jim in Wolfville.
