After a week of unvarying cloudy cool windy days (45 degree highs) the sun finally broke through. I headed to the Woods at the end of the day. It has been a very dry spring but the east and west ponds' water level seems fully normal.
In the evening the eastern woods are pleasantly filled with the sweet smell of Eleagnus Russian Olive in bloom. Saw no deer, no large animals.
All along the South Boundary of the Woods there is a new five foot wide, flat bottom, concrete drain with sloping 5 inch high curb sides. This should have an impact in further isolating the Woods and stopping previous migrations of amphibians, turtles etc..
Saturday (today) walked with Cindy and Jim in from NW entrance and took long winding walk through much of the Woods. Discovered a handsome morel on trail just west of Island Crossing. We discussed possible futures of land at the eastern edge of the Woods with the old compost facility.
