Nature Notes by Dave Wagner

Bond Lane Park, 10:45 a.m.

big-leaf maple ENE of the garbage can

honey-comb found around the base of the tree shows there's a beehive up in the tree

this is a good sign; it means the bees in the neighborhood aren't being poisoned by dangerous pesticides

blackberries around the base of this tree and in the front of the park should be cleared up

two small patches of Anthoceros along the trail through Bond Lane Park just north of the swale; just as you come up to the rise

there's an ad hoc path that takes off to the east

in the SE corner of that junction are the anthocerotes

I think I see male structures on them

it's growing with Fissidens; a spring-fruiting species

and Timmiella, Ceratodon, and a few other bryophytes I don't know

The forest floor in here is dominated by Eurhynchium oreganum, large patches of Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, Eurhynchium praelongum is also abundant in the poorly drained, bare-soil areas.

Lophocolea cuspidata is fruiting on packed soil by the trail.

Claopodium is abundant on the ground here as well as being epiphytic.

Common epiphytic mosses out on the twigs are Orthotrichum lyellii and, further back, Isothecium stoloniferum--that's abundant also on the lower parts of the stem. At the base of the stems is Eurhynchium oreganum.

Scattered patches of Leucolepis along the edge of the trail.
