A colorful mix of bryophytes colonized soil below a tree I planted last year
Gulls continued in good numbers in the channel. I made a trip to look for anything unusual, and spotted the Slaty-backed Gull that was there yesterday. Once again, I first saw it out in the middle (from the Katlian side), but it moved over to near the ramp shortly after.
This evening I spent some time in the yard doing a little pruning of trees and checking out some of the herbaceous plants that survived the winter as basal rosettes (see iNaturalist observations linked below).
