After an abbreviated winter, spring is
here. Among the first shrubs to bloom
near northern waters is rhodora,
whose lovely flowers sometimes form a
solid pink embankment along the
margins of northern lakes and ponds.
Once it is pollinated by returning
hummingbirds, it disappears for the
rest of the summer into the dull
monochrome of green shrubbery that
borders these waters. However, within
and behind that screen is concealed
all sorts of life. Birds' nests, cottontail
forms, sunning snakes and ground
dens may be found by carefully
observing and attending to the sign of
wild animal passage and feeding.
