I’ll be making 7 posts on Ward Pound Ridge Reservation in Westchester, New York. I would love to get a seasonal pass but they only offer passes to Westchester residents. It is a good place to look for butterflies in the summer in between the Spring and Fall bird migration.
Some mixed greens that we enjoyed seeing. The last image is a granite moss covered glacial erratic.
Before the trees leaf out flowers bloom in the woodlands. There were thousands of trout lilies. A kind man showed us the hepaticas (last 2 photos).
I didn’t see many insects or birds. I heard a pileated woodpecker. I saw a few red tails, Eastern Phoebes, and tree swallows. I also spotted a bluebird and a few others. I also saw a spring azure that I couldn’t photograph and a pondhawk dragonfly.
In April I like to see spring greenery and wildlife. Ward Pound Ridge is one of my favorite places. About: Ward Pound Ridge Reservation. After reading about Ward Pound Ridge you maybe curious about Leatherman (vagabond) – Wikipedia. The last photograph is where we ate our picnic by the Cross River.
A second vist ito Philpsburg Manor in Westchesgter County, New York with friends.

A few plants that I tried to ID. These and the images on the previous post were made with my cell phone, A Galaxy S22 Ultra.
At the very end of September we went to Untermyer Gardens Conservancy with some dear friends from New York now living in Washington State. It is a lovely little place in Yonkers, Westchester County.
