The end

Having finished up earlier this week, it is now about time to start wrapping things up on the blogging end.  One of the first things I wanted to do before I even thought about how I could and would analyze my summer from start to finish was to make a nice little tribute to some fauna I had never seen before.  So here you have it; little pictures and snippets about some great wildlife I had never seen until I worked for the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps for 11 weeks:

Belted Kingfisher (Megaceryle alcyon);
M. alcyon at CLoO

Common Loon (Gavia immer);
G. immer at CLoO



Indigo Bunting (Passerina cyanea);
P. cyanea at CLoO

White-breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis);
S. carolinensis at CLoO

 Northern Spring Salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus); threatened in CT

Northern Dusky Salamander (Desmognathus fuscus)

Northern Red-bellied Snake (Storeria occipitomaculata occipitomaculata)

Smooth Green Snake (Opheodrys vernalis)

    Thanks for these photos, Jay. And for all of your hard work with VYCC and the excellent postings.

    I look forward to debriefing with you.

    On related GH notes:

    1. Are you up for leading the G in the W Guild again this year?

    2. We are planning the Harvest Celebration at the WMB for Sunday Oct 9. Are you up for playing a leadership role of some sort? Harvesting from the WMB gardens for the soup?

    See you soon!
