Mustard |
 Cinquefoil |
 Wild Strawberry |
Golden Ragwort |
 Violets of all sorts are everywhere |
 Canada Mayflower are just starting to bloom |
| Birding was not too fruitful on top of the mountain,
but there were a few of note.
The most exciting was a Mourning Warbler that was showing off for us. We were not able to catch sight of a Veery, but they were all around us singing their fabulous song! Indigo Buntings were plentiful. We enjoyed watching the Ravens playing around. Other than that just a lot of Juncos everywhere. |
| After coming down off the mountain we still found spring wildflowers. At Seneca State Forest we saw some just awsome Flame Azaleas. |
 |
 |
 |
| Finally, at the Cranberry Glades we found some interesting Pitcher Plants |
 |
 |
Some actually in bloom. |

Also to be found were Bluets, |

and Wood Sorrel. |
