Seen in the Bog
To see Volo Bog's animals, plants, and scenery in a different light, visit on a rainy, snowy, or icy day. Sunday was a little of everything. A bog walk in inclement weather never disappoints.
Snow fell steadily throughout the morning.
The water in the bog was sluggish and icy. No creatures could be seen moving under the surface.
In the restoration areas, where shrubs have been cut back, snow piled up quickly. Sleepy Sphagnum moss peered out from under the white blanket.
Do you associate gray snowy mornings with subdued quiet? The geese of Volo Bog do not.
Most bog plants still wore their winter appearance. The afternoon sun brought out the warm, rich browns of the leatherleaf shrub.
The familiar shapes of the sensitive fern fronds appeared as crisp silhouettes against the snow. These persistent fronds will remain upright for a while yet, and release their spores in the summer.
Seen Around the Bog
The noisy pair of geese from the eye of the bog eventually moved to the pond to continue their conversation.
By the afternoon, several mammals had left prints in the fresh snow. Can you identify these tracks? (Click each picture for answers.)
Blackbirds could be heard calling in the marsh all day, no matter the weather—a sign of spring.
