Code 1956 Weather and Phenology 13 June A very few sprigs of Eupetrum niqquum are also flowering in this area. Willows in the stream bottoms flower eatkins. Several kinds of decumbent forbes are green, and some willows-decumbent or downy types-house green leaves. Flies, bumble bees and better flies were out in numbers-also spiders in the vegetation. Some Dryas has green leaves on Christ Mt. 14 June Bright and clear at 0930-all "weight" long too. Temp in shade 17°C. No wind. Alder buds are breaking open and show green nodes. Leaf buds on riparian willows are also breaking. Green shoots of grass and reds are showing at the bottom of the dead tussocks. Sphagnum moss has 5-10 mm of new growth at the tips-shears up as light green against darker green background. Renewed bright, clear, and warm all day. No wind to very light NE wind in late evening. 15 June Again bright and clear in the morning with somewhat stronger NE wind. Thunder heads and other convective clouds began showing up in the northern sector of sky about 1200 but new lows continued to arrive here. Appears to be raining in the Brook Range. Noted the first mosquito while running traps on T-4. In late afternoon noted further progression of leafing out of alders and willows. In a mead bank, 5 sprouts of Eupetrum were up 2-3 inches. Several plants are about ready to flower.
