Today’s sunshine and cooler air following last night’s much-needed rains provided me sufficient excuse to visit the Dwaas Kill Nature Preserve in the Town of Clifton Park. My visit was rewarded with a wonderfully mixed bag of sights.
Some blooms –

Agrimony leaflets are smooth on underside except for a few hairs along the veins. (That is how you distinguish the species from Woodland Agrimony whose leaflets are downy underneath.)
A few berries –
Mystery ‘shrooms –
And a buck –

Young white-tailed buck with velvet-covered spike antlers
Happy trails!
