May Flowers: Blue-eyed Mary

The first time I saw Blue-eyed Mary was at Guffy Hollow near Irwin, PA.  When it grows profusely – as it did there - the forest floor is carpeted in blue. 

It’s blooming now at Enlow Fork.  Don’t miss it.

Getting Ready to Walk

Remember this bird? 

Shortly after I blogged about the Don’t Walk robin, Tony Bledsoe was on Craig Street with a friend and told him about the bird nesting on the traffic signal. 

Sam Leinhardt is an avid photographer and was intrigued by the idea of creating a chronicle of the robins’ nest.  Happily, Sam got in touch with me and allowed me to use his photos. 

Click on the picture to see a slideshow of nesting activity that spans about one week.  The babies grew a lot, didn’t they!  

If all goes well, Sam will have fledging pictures soon.
