[[underline]] Swamp [[/underline]]

[[underline]] Aug. 7 [[/underline]] In a mixed partly cleared hemlock, tamarack, balsam, & deciduous swamp we found dark blue berries of [[underline]] Clintonia umbellata [[/underline]], bushes of Mt. holly, with bluish green leaves & pinkish red berries (brighter in the sun).  Patches of vivid red ^[[insertion]] sun lit- [[/insertion]] bunch berries, the snowberry vine with its tiny close set leaves & pearly berries clinging to - clambering on - roots, & young mt. ashes, good to see again.  We waded waist deep among the fronds of cinnamon fern & sank ankle deep in sphagnum.  An animal that darted [[image - pen drawing of zigzag]] like a rabbit fled from a brush heap that afforded good cover.  A Canadian warbler seemed much at home & a pair of white-throats fussed suggestively.
The filmy tamaracks are interesting in their individuality.  The white throat sang.  Hobble bush sprawled on the ground.

Transcription Notes:
Ambrosia: - You don't need to add [[end page]] at the end of a page - just [[end page]] [[start page]] when moving from one page to the next in the image (if the image has two pages). See blue help tab. Kept Florence's spelling mistakes Clintonia umbellata = clintonia umbellulata
