mynhgardenDescription
A couple of weeks ago as I was bringing in wood from our stacked woodpile outside, I found these under the woodpile. They are quite long, as you see compared to the pen - about 5-6 inches long? And were lying exactly as they are parallel to each other.
They were under a pile of wood that was stacked on parallel 2x4s in a space about 2-3 inches off the ground and bordered on two sides by the long 2x4s. Unlikely that it is animal scat as no large-enough animal would fit in that tiny space. I gently nudged one and it is very light. I put them back as I found them and covered them with a large piece of wood to keep the snow off of them. They’re probably some horribly invasive species, but in case they’re something native or special, I thought I should leave them be and protected.
No visible segmenting. Material looks like some kind of fluffy webbing with dark strands of hair-like fiber on the left one. I wonder if the hairy stuff was actually on the underside and I turned it over? No obvious hole though I didn’t move them much to see.
Can you shed some light on this?
Thanks!

Appalachian Rockcap Fern (Polypodium appalachianum)Observer
mnerrieDescription
I'm thinking this is Polypodium appalachianum. This species looks very similar to P. virginianum, aka Common Rock Polypody, but a key identifier of the species is that its leaf blade is widest at the base and somewhat triangular overall. To be sure, spore size and a chromosome count might be needed for a truly positive ID.
Here's a great photo comparison of the blades of the two species and more info: https://hardyfernlibrary.com/ferns/listSpecies_Auto_94.html

nhankeDescription
I don't know what animal this is. I think it is a bird, on the ground or very close to the ground and only 4-5' away from me but obscured by foliage. Habitat is a thicket wedged between a roadway and a marshy pond. I am seeking help with an ID. It may be a fledgling and that's why the sound is unfamiliar. I identified 39 other avian species on this walk today.
