Male Wild Turkey in Golden Ragwort Field. This was in a wetter area, which is great for this important native plant that can grow in sun or shade. As an early bloomer, it is vital for bees that come out in early spring. It's also a host plant for many types of Lepidoptera and sure brightens a field.

Osprey With Fish. These magnificent raptors almost went extinct when DDT was used to get rid of mosquitoes. When the pesticide was finally banned in 1972, Osprey made a comeback in states like Michigan. These are large birds, with a 5 to 6 foot wingspan. Females are larger than males, which is often the case with raptors. Osprey can be found living near water, as 99% of their diet is fish. They like to build their nests on platforms, including cell phone towers (we have several such nests around here.) One of their biggest rivals is the Bald Eagle that also nests near water. Fights occur. Bald Eagles are larger than Osprey and eat various things, including carrion, and they're known to steal fish, eggs, and chicks from Osprey. Osprey are more agile and faster than Bald Eagles, so they can protect their food and nests by mobbing and harassing Bald Eagles. Hopefully their numbers will also increase in states where they're still threatened or endangered.

Great Blue Heron Nest With Chicks. The nests are made out of sticks and tend to be high up in trees where the chicks are better protected. Great Blue Herons are one of the birds that like to nest in colonies. The colonies are called rookeries, which stems from the word "rook" (a Eurasian crow that also likes to nest in colonies.) These magnificent birds can have a wingspan of 6.5+ feet and will eat almost anything they can snag.

Pussytoes (Antennaria plantaginifolia). This native perennial has furry flowers that look like tiny cat's paws when viewed up close. These plants are often grown as a groundcover because the silvery leaves stay close to the ground, spread by runners or seeds, making nice colonies, while the flowers bloom atop 12-inch stems. They can bloom from April to June in this area. Pussytoes are drought tolerant, can grow in partial shade or sun in zones 3-8, and can tolerates poor soils. They attract butterflies and other pollinators, and are host plants for Painted Lady and American Lady butterflies, which is who I grow them for.

Mallards During Flooding. They sure know how to make the most of a challenging time! And they're quite beautiful. Sometimes I think that if they weren't so common, people would appreciate their beauty more.

Canada (not Canadian) Goose on Nest. I'm finding them everywhere. This one was so well camouflaged that I wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't moved its head.
