Thick with Cinnamon, New York, Rattlesnake, and Christmas ferns; and the sweet song of birds; especially, Chestnut-sided Warblers, Black-throated Green Warblers, Parula Warblers, and the loud call of the Oven Birds, along with many blooming plants; this forest was full of so
much to enjoy. The plant of the day was the abundant Indian Cucumber Root which was in bloom. We plied Don with many questions and he did not disappoint with his experience and knowledge of the plants. Thank you Don!
