#Mosstodon, you say?
The whole forest floor has been bright green for all the rain and humidity. 💚

At the entrance of the wide groveled trail, we saw two adult deer on the left side. Then, noticed a couple of returning hikers pointing the phone toward the right.
There were a few fawns! They were waiting for the safe moment to cross the trail to catch up with their moms, perhaps.
Here’s one of them. I used the digital zoom, so it’s a bit wobbly. But what a sweet little fawn!

… and the human refuse I’ve picked up while watching the birds by the pond. It’s a beautiful spot, we must keep the forests clean!

Oh, there’s some cricket chirps at the end. 🦗🔊

Is it RedWingedBlackBird making burry alarm whistles?
Can anyone identify the bird?
❗️🔊 the waterfall is a bit noisy❗️

#LookABunny is looking!
It was well worth it to go a little farther to the MIT observatory historical site in the Fells forest this evening for this hare encounter! 👀🐇☔️

Spring reflection on Long Pond
Mostly Eastern White Pine shown inverted, mid-March, in #MiddlesexFells Reservation, just north of #Boston #Massachusetts USA
Found some of the Mesozoic dikes intruding the Proterozoic to Neoproterozoic bedrock here, but failed to get good images.
