You sent us a bumper crop of April photos – so many, that we couldn’t decide which of these to publish. So instead, we’re sharing selections in two photo galleries this month.
Common themes for April included spring wildflowers, vernal pool scenes, and a surprising abundance of garter snakes. In Photo Gallery One, a male grouse drummed on a log, mosquito larvae siphoned air from the water surface, and Jennifer Edmondson accused a chipmunk of hoarding toilet paper. Meanwhile, in Photo Gallery Two, a female mallard gobbled a wood frog lunch, a boy discovered his very first inchworm, and volunteers with the Central New York Land Trust honored Earth Day by working on trails at Old Fly Marsh.
