Getting Packed and Ready!

Howdy,

This rainy weekend in New England has given me some extra indoor time to get ready for the upcoming expedition. I have still managed, however, to get distracted by signs of Spring. There is a bustle of activity near the wetlands beside my house.

Check out this picture of a oriole in my backyard. I've seen three nesting pairs!

Can you guess what kind of plant this is? I noticed it while taking a walk through some nearby woods.
Be sure to check back often for more updates.

I am not sure... I might have used to have some seeds for that plant. If it is what I think it is, it curls up when touched!
