May 3 looks to be stellar day, even if the forecast is for breezy, cloudy in the afternoon. The morning will find Sheila, Sandy, and I in the Cottonwood Gallery taking observations. I expect that the cottonwoods themselves will be in full swing. (Late breaking news: Sheila has a doctor's appointment post hand surgery. Gerri should be standing in for her.)
The City Nature Challenge will be chugging along and I hope to get some more observations in during the afternoon. Perhaps a drive out to the West Mesa or up the back side of the Sandias.
Phenology was just Gerri and I with Sheila and Sandy both otherwise occupied. Things are popping in the Garden: screwbean mesquite leaves, Atriplex flower buds, fruits on Forestiera and Ribes.
Lots of color elsewhere in the Garden as well.
