Not long after sun up a Gray Fox avoids the very tall, very wet grass by using my foot path.
Vase shaped mushrooms are having their day. One I tentatively identified as a Black Trumpet (Craterellus fallux). The other possibly Shaggy or Scaly Vase Chanterelle (Gomphus floccosus).
And Three-bird Orchids (Triphora trianthaphora) are opening few flowers. Three-birds is a state listed Threatened or endangered species. They're found in only a handful of places in Vermont, all of them in or near Dummerston.
