It was a blissfully relaxing day at Newport. All who joined in had a enjoyable time investigating the plants and animals. For a full write-up of the day, see Kee's bulletin here: http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~akd/newport-forest/

This coyote/fox (? tail seems too skinny) frolicked in the hay field near Newport. |
This plant at first a stumper, keyed out to be a Showy Tick-trefoil (Desmodium canadense). Rounded seed pods and dense pubescence on the mid-vein. |
Purple Joe Pye Weed , Eupatorium purpureum |
Wild lettuce? |
This giant fly bit me. OUCH! I caught it and harassed it in return. |
Probably Spotted Pye Weed |
Cup plant, almost done flowering. I have always liked the look of haggard flowers. |
Rainbow Darter from Fleming Creek |
Mayfly of Fleming Creek |

That plant you are unsure of --- is it Spotted Joe Pye Weed?
