Arboretum Attractions: Spritely Wrens & Springtime Wildflowers!
Mount Pisgah的点评
点评：A delightfully warm weekend in mid-March was perfect timing for reopening the Howard Buford Recreation Area to the public, an area that includes the beloved Mount Pisgah Arboretum (“a 209-acre nature education facility”) – which we enjoyed for several hours. Despite shocking sights from the January ice-storm damage still exposed, there were cleared trails (thanks to many volunteers & others) which allowed for leisurely strolls along the river, past the water garden, and into the woodlands.
Birds were busy gleaning insects, & we were thrilled to see high-spirited Bewick’s Wrens (with bold white eye stripes) flittering close to the ground to forage amid the scattered heaps of broken, lichen-coated branches. Higher up, we also spotted a little Ruby-crowned Kinglet (with a prominent eye ring) bustling through trees.
Springtime wildflowers also flourished among the shattered twigs & crumpled leaves. Tinged in Easter hues, the delicate blooms burst forth, embroidering the trails with dazzling white Fawn Lilies (dressed in recurved “cornette” hats), showy snow-white Trilliums, sunshine yellow Buttercups, lavender Camas, pink Toothworts, speckled Nemophila (also known as Baby Blue Eyes), & attractive clusters of miniature Daisies. Definitely enchanting to walk these wildly decorated pathways!
The only “butterfly” we saw was a lone, white-streaked, brunette-rimmed beauty (about 1 inch wingspan) which was flying low, then landed on the forest floor. But it wasn’t a butterfly. After photographing it, we later learned it was the lovely day-flying moth (Mesoleuca gratulata) – commonly known as the “Western White-ribboned Carpet Moth” or “Half-white Carpet Moth” – noted for bringing joy to those who see it, and considered to be “a sure sign of spring!”
Check the Arboretum’s Website & Facebook pages for more information – including upcoming festivals & events, native plant sales, member walks, Arboretum work parties, bird tours, & so much more! The Website also has trail descriptions, & online trail maps. Dogs on leash are allowed. Bathrooms are located at the entryway. Many plants are labeled, with the addition of educational exhibits, interpretive signs, benches, bridges, & fun interactive displays.
There is no admission fee to the Arboretum, but Lane County does require a parking pass for your vehicle ($5/day, or display of an annual pass). The Arboretum – open daily, dawn to dusk – is managed by the nonprofit “Friends of Mount Pisgah Arboretum,” and welcomes volunteers.
Of note is the upcoming Wildflower Festival (Sunday, May 19, 2024), and a call to volunteer artists to create an “Art in Nature” display (contact August Jackson, Interpretation Coordinator at the Arboretum). May should be a splendid time to visit, especially to view migrating songbirds & to see many wildflowers, bees, moths & butterflies! Enjoy the trails!

翻译：3 月中旬的一个令人愉快温暖的周末是霍华德·布福德休闲区向公众重新开放的最佳时机，该区域包括深受喜爱的皮斯加山植物园（“占地 209 英亩的自然教育设施”）——我们在那里度过了几个小时。尽管一月的冰暴破坏造成的令人震惊的景象仍然暴露无遗，但仍然有清理的小径（感谢许多志愿者和其他人），可以沿着河悠闲地漫步，经过水上花园，进入林地。
鸟儿们正忙着拾取昆虫，我们兴奋地看到斗志昂扬的比威克鹪鹩（有着醒目的白色眼睛条纹）在靠近地面的地方飞来飞去，在散落的、覆盖着地衣的树枝堆中觅食。在更高的地方，我们还发现了一只红宝石冠的小小王（有一个突出的眼环）在树林中忙碌。
春天的野花也在破碎的树枝和皱巴巴的树叶间盛开。带着复活节的色调，娇嫩的花朵绽放开来，在小径上点缀着耀眼的白色小鹿百合（戴着弯曲的“短号”帽子）、艳丽的雪白延龄草、阳光黄色的毛茛、薰衣草色的卡马斯、粉红色的牙草、斑点的Nemophila（也被称为如婴儿蓝眼睛），以及迷人的微型雏菊簇。走在这些装饰华丽的小路上绝对令人着迷！
我们看到的唯一“蝴蝶”是一只孤独的、白色条纹、黑发边框的美丽蝴蝶（翼展约 1 英寸），它飞得很低，然后落在森林的地面上。但它不是蝴蝶。拍完照片后，我们后来得知这是可爱的日飞蛾（Mesoleuca gratulata）——俗称“西方白带地毯蛾”或“半白地毯蛾”——以给看到它的人带来欢乐而闻名，并被认为是“春天的明确标志！”
查看植物园的网站和 Facebook 页面以获取更多信息 - 包括即将举行的节日和活动、本土植物销售、会员散步、植物园工作聚会、观鸟之旅等等！该网站还提供路线描述和在线路线地图。允许携带拴着狗绳的狗。浴室位于入口处。许多植物都贴有标签，还添加了教育展览、解说标志、长凳、桥梁和有趣的互动展示。
植物园无需门票，但莱恩县要求您提供车辆停车证（5 美元/天，或出示年票）。植物园每天从黎明到黄昏开放，由非营利组织“皮斯加山植物园之友”管理，并欢迎志愿者。
值得注意的是即将到来的野花节（2024 年 5 月 19 日星期日），以及呼吁志愿者艺术家创作“自然艺术”展览（联系植物园解说协调员奥古斯特·杰克逊）。五月应该是游览的绝佳时机，尤其是观赏迁徙的鸣禽以及许多野花、蜜蜂、飞蛾和蝴蝶！享受小径！
