Long Island Cranberry Bog (Riverhead)
My first solo hunt for Schizaea pusilla on eastern Long Island

~60 degrees by 1 p.m. Strange for mid/late February

• 2 hrs in the field,most of which were off trail by damp Juniperous,peering into mosses and Lychophytes
• Ticks were out. Plucked 3 off my clothes
• Minimal invasive Plantae
• Phragmites australis was contained
• No cranberry in fruit
• Tried to log anything that was not a Pinus to assess diversity amongst Long Island Pine Barrens
• Did not find S. pusilla
