Pyha buying marijuana

I love dragonflies and damselflies! Slowly learning to ID the ones that visit our habitat. Fortunate to have a natural water source nearby and plenty of spots for perching. Happy day! We love that you found the entries and had fun reviewing them…thanks so much for encouraging others to explore. You saw the same wonderfulness that we did. Imagine being able to make a whole category of entries of nests built upon garden tools…. Christianne White, Celebrate Urban Birds. Any suggestions for east coast rain garden resources? There are a number of rain garden resources for the east coast as well as the midwest. Here are links to the ones I know about. Enjoyed reading the case studies. Which site manages stormwater runoff most effectively or is not useful to make such a comparison? You can read the report from the City of Portland, Flow Test. It may be worth looking into the next time I head to Portland, that would be a fun research project. I find the Mt. The other two are, as far as I know, just rain gardens. The Vermont guide is closest to home NYC. It is convenient that the guides are web-based. This is a great paper, Kelly. You may be interested in the film we made at Surfrider Foundation that summarizes some of it. I appreciate children interacting with the Insect Hotel. I absolutely agree Georgia, there is a lot of similarity to the design from the Holbeck Urban Village. I really enjoy how there are different creative approaches to designing habitat like this. Two major ones seem to be adapting human structures, such as houses or high-rises, into wildlife structures while the other is more of an abstract, artistic approach. Wondering how green roof designers account for the habitat needs of nighthawks and other urban birds. However in the UK and Switzerland, there are many, excellent projects that are designed for specific species of birds such as the Black Redstart in London. I will post a longer answer to your thought soon with some examples from Europe. Thanks for that link Georgia, there are some phenomenal works on the interactive page! I found them very fascinating and I really liked how so many cultures had similar ideas but came up with such uniquely creative works. What a nice article. Thanks for the links. I am busy looking at fitting a swift box to my house to see if can help the depleted numbers. I am also thinking of fitting a nest box camera too. Hopefully, I will be able to show the birds using the box as well help increase numbers too. They need all the help they can get. I will e-mail over photos when my project is live if that helps. Keep up the good blog. Thanks Mark. What an excellent idea to put a camera into the box. Kelly, you have such inspired observations. I am always of reminded of something or some things, like our nature-made profiles! Thank you for the nice comment Georgia! They are a great medium to work with. I make the Biohaven Floating Islands on the east coast and am very excited about the ability to marry together the functionality of cleaning water with the aesthetics of art and horticulture. Am also reminded of floating farms in Bangladesh. Artificial lighting might also affect trees. A paper about this was presented at the Ecological Consequences of Artificial Night Lighting conference in Enjoyed reading this post — rich detail. Your point about system design is well taken. A Berkeley, CA plug: in the Le Conte neighborhood, one of the traffic circles has been converted into butterfly habitat as well as the school yard across from the rotary. I like that the roof design for your target species — the Common Nighthawk — would accommodate other avian species. What do you think about the installation in terms of habitat potential? The best way to germination is after warm stratification for months. Cuttings on the other hand are extremely easy to root. Softwoods and semi-hardwoods from June-August are the easiest and cuttings are easily over-wintered. If you decide to try seeds, let us know how it goes! Kelly — thanks for that info I only just saw it! Promise to keep you updated on my progress! Looks very interesting and important book. But how can I get one copy, because I live here in Finland? I have also written two books about wildlife and gardens, and would be very eager to see the book. Do you know are the books delivered in Finland, too. I would recommend the Book Depository to buy this book in Finland. I have ordered books from them before and I have a friend also in Finland who buys books through them. They have free worldwide shipping too. One summer when we lived on the south border of Camp Bonneville in Camas school district we had a swarm of thousands on the south side of our house. Then they started showing up inside. There were mounds of them in the corner of the ceiling. We vacuumed them and that is when we really discovered the foul odor of which you spoke. We got them removed but what seems like a couple of months later they reappeared. I am assuming that the warm environment might have caused them to hatch a new batch. For several years after, whenever we would move a piece of furniture clean out an old box, we would find many dried ladybugs. I hope you will look into the Lost Ladybug Project. With the help of citizen scientists they are tracking the different verities of ladybugs, where and when they are found. Their site includes lots of interesting information and you can submit your findings. During the last three years most of the ladybugs I have found have been non-native. Thank you for the information Carole, I will certainly send some of my photos in to the Lost Ladybug Project. Thanks for sharing, you have a great site! In Brooklyn, we find very tall communications towers to be a good place to spot perched peregrines. There is one near the southern end of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden that regularly hosts the birds; the tallest thing around for some distance, the tower serves as a cliff overlooking all the prey-ridden air below. The tower at Bishop Ford High School, across the street from Green-Wood Cemetery, often has red-tailed hawks on top of it, but peregrines like the lower rungs. The city is surprisingly raptor- rich, actually, with nesting peregrines, red-tails, and, by far the most numerous, American kestrels who favor 19th century cornices , as well as passing-through merlins, sharp-shinned hawks, and Coopers hawks. Overhead: osprey, broad-wing hawks, and more rarely, bald eagles. Around Jamaica Bay and the Rockaway Peninsula: northern harriers. Last winter a northern goshawk spent several days in Prospect Park. You can see a lot around here just by traveling by subway. I absolutely love your blog. I wish every urban development would provide some type of urban wildlife habitat. Do you think green roofs could play an important role in preserving bird and insect species? I suppose much more work needs to be done to improve the connectedness of habitat areas in urban areas for animal movement, as well as the improve the opportunities for animals to hide, etc. Hi Carter, thank you for the comment! I do think that urban habitats could make a positive impact. Combining green roofs, planters, green walls, parks, yards, rain gardens, river banks and other available spaces could really make an impact, especially if planned to connect green spaces via corridors. I do think green roofs could benefit birds and insects, and in fact they already are playing an important role. In London, many green roofs are designed for the rare black redstart and are already successfully being used for nesting. Insects could benefit greatly from green roofs and some studies have indicated good insect and spider populations on various green roofs. Good design is important, specific species have different needs and there is no magic system that will benefit all. Kelly, I love this site!! Congratulations on such a wonderful site. I really hope communities pick up on this concept, Kathy. Thank you for the nice comment Kathy, I greatly appreciate it! I agree, I hope communities pick up on it too. Hopefully the successful programs will serve as good case studies for other communities. Kelly, it was so great to have you as a guest writer! I really enjoyed reading about how we can become scientists in our own backyards, and the list of links for simple ways to participate is really helpful. This is great info. Thanks for a wonderful post. I am interested in the riparian habitat created via diverting street runoff. Do you have any more information on this design feature? I contacted her and asked her to come comment here. Great choice and nice photos! Welcome to the project! Thanks for getting the word out about the project. Thanks for the comment Caroline! I love Wales, such beautiful scenery and lovely people. Unfortunately I only spent a couple of days there, but I most certainly plan to visit again. Went to the class about bees and that we should all have a bee haven in our yards. I was told to visit website xerces. I could not find the info. Can you direct me to the right place. Thank you very much. Hi Bernadette, congratulations on wanting to create bee habitat! The Xerces Society just published a brand new book as well that will be sent out later this month that should be an excellent resource. Great info on lupines, Kelly. I am a sucker for blue and purple flowers, so lupines have always been favorites of mine. Just shows how when we lose one species, we often lose one or more other species that are closely associated with the first. Although maybe I should have. Ants tend some species of Blues such as the Karner blue, and harvest a sugary liquid the caterpillar produces. Another part of the story of the Xerces blue was that the native ants which tended their larvae, had been displaced by an ant from South America. Another aspect which could have also factored into the demise of the Xerces. Fascinating post. I never really thought about gardens in quite this way. Animals certainly love retaining walls, of all kinds. Here in NYC, squirrels and raccoons nest in park walls. I suppose a city park is a kind of giant, messy garden …? This is a fascinating study. However,I am puzzled to read the comment re. Amazingly, only a small number of people died, about 8, so hardly sufficient numbers to attract any significant number of carrion birds. I would have thought that in 17th century England, battlefields were more likely places to witness large numbers of bodies and therefore crows etc. Far more likely to provoke hatred of the birds across the country and not just in London which was a small place back then. Where did you source this information? Hi Lou, thanks for reading! Ravens and crows descended with such zeal upon the charred victims that the grieving survivors appealed to King Charles II, begging him to exterminate the birds, a task he oversaw with vigor. Nests were decimated and bounties paid on the skins of crows and ravens. As for the death toll, there were only a few official deaths, but many more may have not been counted due to being cremated or from a low class. Nice post. Crows are fascinating creatures. I love to watch them here in NYC, although there are not as many in Manhattan as I would like to see. In NYC, I watched one crow stand on a rock in the park and, holding a nut in its beak, bang it over and over into the rock until the nut split open. Seems like a lot of work for a little meat, but then I feel the same way about lobster — too much work! Sounds like a book worth picking up. I observe crows all the time- why not? Watching them band together and chase away eagles and hawks is amazing. Thanks for the link to the article about the SF garden controversy. The article only mentioned one disgruntled resident so the title seems a bit misleading. Kelly, this is a great post. Not only a solid analysis of the flower show, but your approach is very creative. Future show participants should consult with you to improve upon the wildlife factor of their displays. Your favorite that you saved for last is done by The Lusher Life Project. Mari Malcolm is the owner. Nice shots and interesting critique. I agree that designing a garden should automatically include designing for wildlife. Pacific NW is so rich in habitats. I lived in Portland Oregon decades ago — used to walk in a wetland area full of birds. This is really interesting—new habitat from old trash. My hometown of Chicago has its own landfill story along much of the lakefront. Thanks for the great post and photos, Kelly, and for contributing to Marsh Madness! I would love to visit it some day. Higman and Earl J. A pleasant read about urban wildlife. Seattle was much smaller then, at least the metro area. The email subscription form is the icon on the right. Thank you for visiting! They have 4 seasons of interest too. Amazing plants, proud to have them in my garden and yard! Great idea. I am going to share this idea with as many people as I can. More people need to be aware of the importance of using built environment to facilitate urban habitat for wild life. I would love to see something like that for North American bats. Makes me want to put up a bat house. As of July , eleven species of large mammals have used 24 wildlife crossings more than , times since This includes grizzly and black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars, moose, elk, deer, bighorn sheep, and more recently wolverine and lynx. Ouch, that really sounds pretty hard: lots of rain and wind. Here in Switzerland it was quite the opposite: lots of sun and not enough rain, one of the warmest Marches. And yet I hope……. This is a great post and the obvious take away is that providing habitat to urban wildlife can and usually does improve the experience for humans as well. It does not have to be one or the other. Canada is beautiful. David Attenborough is indeed inspirational in everything he does. I enjoy anything by him whether it be a book or a film. Your book selections are surely inspirational. And your blog certainly reflects your commitment to nature. Thank you for this Kelly … the concept is fun and streches the imagination … I have always loved the concept of underground houses and this takes that to a whole new level. Importantly, while the city concept has limited relevance, it will give me ideas on how to create a community focus for our surburban restoration. Floating city project was inspired by the disastrous consequences of Hurricane Katrina from The damage was so great that the city is still in the process of rebuilding. One of my favorites! We have a ton of skunk cabbage growing along the creek in our backyard. I love how it transforms the forest floor. And my favorite thing is that even after a long, hard winter you know that spring really will come when you see or smell the first Skunk Cabbage of the year. This is so wonderful to see a community band together to create habitat for wildlife! I really hope we begin to see more and more communities doing this. I really enjoy your photographs. With my youngster on Thursday morning, I observed lots of bees in a lovely church garden in the West Village. This post makes me recall a few lines from one of my most favorite poems from William Balke: Sound the Flute! Ah, spring! Our neighbor has a bunch of these growing in their front yard right now. They are a nice splash of color on yet another cloudy day. You are right Kelly. This design is exciting in its novelty and creativity. I like the use of an agricultural landscape element ridge and furrow to address an urbanized problem. I have a colony of bees which have made a nest in hole in my barn wall, which was originally made by mice or squirrels. I had never been stung by a bee until this year and one evening while putting my goats in for the night, one became very aggressive and chased me as I left the barn and got me. I live in western Washington state, and have never seen bees like these, their lower back is a rather bright red color. I am also concerned that they are nesting in the wall of the barn which contains fiberglass insulation and wonder if it is harmful to them. Any suggestions? One of the bumbles stung me yesterday while i was weeding — maybe a nest in the ground under a grassy plant? I would absolutely love to see it back here again. I made the single biggest mistake of my entire school career by choosing one design studio over another and missed out on the opportunity to submit a design to the original competition. A picture f the overall building would be nice, so as to see how the roof appears in the design. If you visit the Flickr photo gallery there are a couple photos of the overall building. I should have put a link to the album in the post. As we stood up on the roof, nobody even glanced up to see us there, but if you look, especially with the tall grasses now, you would certainly see it. It would be nice to see a program where this sort of idea could be implemented in partnership with the property owner for use on a temporary basis. In my neighborhood, there were several lots that sat empty for multiple years while waiting out the economic problems, permitting issues, financing, etc. It would be great to see those lots being used in the interim for the community. Funny how certain random things come together in a short time to start the brain thinking. This is fascinating Kelly. I love the recipe approach, and am imagining the combinations of each type. Thank you for this beautiful, reverent write-up, MFG! I love my salmonberry plants! I have some in the yard and they exploded this year- not sure why. Deer ate most of one early in the season but it had a comeback. A very curious idea. I wonder what would happen if the load on the membrane was too great? I assume there would be built in safety systems to counter catastrophe? Still, a very curious idea. Thanks for sharing. I was never aware of this project. I have noted in the past that appreciation of nature was a Northwest value. This is one of the best examples of this I have seen. Thanks for the post. Thanks for the info! Love your new feature, and you chose a fine clip to start it off. I saw the Austin bats once years ago. An extraordinary sight! Precious, in a good way. My son found a hurt Monarch in the playground last week and he and his friend still talk about it. Great intro to crows, an amazing bird. Ah, dragonflies! What a handsome insect the Eight-spotted skimmer is. Thanks for introducing it to me. Great post, Kelly! I saw this dragonfly species out in the Alvord Desert, east of Steens Mountains. They were hanging out by Mickey Hot Springs. Very cool insects. Thanks for all the good information in your post. However, the hard part in North America, I think, is distinguishing between a London Plane and its American parent, particularly with amount cross-breeding which has gone on. The only the only test I find that is reliable in the field: an older tree that has a straight, tall trunk and the bark at the bottom has lost the camouflage look and is now craggy- light to medium brown is definitely an American Sycamore. BTW: in my neck of the woods, Acer rubrum swamp or red maple has a v-shaped sinus which is helpful to distinguish it from the sugar maples and invasive Norway maples, that have rounded sinuses. Sue: thanks for the peer review. It is not only in your area where the sinuses of red maple leaves are v-shaped! The error is mine. Great post. We certified our yard through Washington Fish and Wildlife, mainly to support their program, but also for the inspiration the sign might bring to our neighbors. Because the sign is prettier! Alas, true. Thanks Ivan! I got really lucky when I was living in the Willamette Valley, there was a small pond in a park near where I lived and they visited it in somewhat large numbers. It was easy to capture them with the camera just by sitting along the edge of the pond and waiting for them to swim by. I really like to listen to their calls, they seem to be very unique. There are now 10 new rain gardens installed in the West Seattle Delridge community by Stewardship Partners this past July. Enjoy a new Caffe Vita 12, Rain Gardens Coffee blend and a portion of sales goes towards installing rain gardens. All this exciting stuff and even an industrial rain garden at the Port of Tacoma that protects Commencement Bay from zinc and other heavy metals. Please visit our website for this and many other rain garden examples. Thank you for this fascinating piece. I came across one of these centipedes while visiting my father in Atlanta. Not knowing what it was I relocated it outside without losing a leg. Found you via an Iranian architecture page on fb! Great website, thanks. Me too! What is the most profound interaction you have had with urban nature? So, I was out hacking away with my shovel I noticed that something had been able to create a tunnel. Who else can dig through this kind of clay? I was stunned. This was no garden worm. Profound in that I was totally mesmerized: I must have watched it for 10 minutes before it disappeared. I was walking Lincoln Park, watching a sea lion on its back, eating a salmon. All of a sudden, an eagle swooped from the cliffs above, snatched the salmon from the sea lion, and flew back up into the trees. As I came into the kitchen to make coffee early one morning, my cat was upset: her cat food bowl was empty she always left a wee bit for the morning and her water was muddy. This continued for several days, and then one morning I noticed that in addition to the dirty water and missing food, there were little muddy footprints in the kitchen. We had a magnetic cat-door, but something was getting in. That night we waited in the dark, and sure enough, we heard the cat door slam… we gave our cat-food thief a minute, then snapped on the lights:. With their careful fingers they were able to lift the cat door towards themselves and out-smart the lock and then they were still small enough to fit through the cat-door. All three plunged through the cat-door, and we watched as they and mom hurried down the alley. Great article, but when I try to mellow my instinctive loathing of them, and then see those closeups, Gaaack! Back to the battlefront! Seriously though, this is an excellent piece on these creatures. Lovely article, Ivan, about fascinating animals. Here in the niortheast, such a smell could mean skunk cabbage rather than skunk. And over the past few years, especially in certain urban settings like NYC, the smell is more likely to be caused by your neighbors smoking new strains of marijuana that smell remarkably like, yes, you guess it, skunk! We do have skunks in Manhattan, although mostly up near the northern tip of the island. For a while, I was smelling them everywhere, in the parks and the streets, and was starting to wonder what the heck was going on. I was enlightened by younger people in my life, who were pretty amused by my confusion. A great post as always Ivan. It was late and stores were closed. All my mom had was frozen chunky tomato sauce. Poor dog had chunks in his fur for days! Sweet little creatures who deserve more respect! Great post! Maybe in 20 years apartment complexes and industrial parks will be gardens. The quote you selected and the book cover are brilliant! Thanks for the review. This book is THE book for landscape designers, professional or amateur, who want to build sustainable constructed landscapes. Great review, Kelly. A must-buy! Very interesting! I know we have at least one underneath our bird feeder area. Do they occasionally eat seeds? What an amazing animal…fascinating post too! This is one animal we do not have yet where I live in central NY…my cursed critter is the vole as they do real damage to my gardens… I am not so worried about my lawn as I am eliminating more of it. Thank you. According to several references I checked, there are two species of moles in your part of New York-the hairy-tailed mole and the star-nosed. Might check with your neighbors and see if they have seen evidence of moles. Voles can be a problem; out here they sometimes girdle young fruit trees in the winter. Fascinating post, thank you. I used to laugh at my dog who would start digging up the yard for no apparent reason until I read that dogs can hear the moles squeaking in their burrows,. Kelly, excellent interview! I enjoyed your review so this book is on my list. I hope you will conduct more interviews, maybe with a podcast option. The hydrologic cycle is indeed very complex. More so than I had ever thought previously. Thanks for the information I imagine it must have taken quite a while to put this all together. Great post for the first day of spring, Kelly! I am thinking I could use cheesecloth or something to cover up a fertilized cluster of flowers and then return when the fruits are fully formed. The cheesecloth would keep birds or other animals from eating the fruits before I get a chance to observe them. Every area which is partially shaded has these plants growing, and they keep volunteering! Fabulous article and I love the vintage illustrations that go along with the information. I have never seen a mole but we have marsupial moles in Australia I believe. In his book, Bringing Nature Home highly recommended Douglas Tallamy lists members of the Prunus genus as an important source of food for wildlife. Mine is a tough tree. A couple of years ago a large forager broke the main trunk in half. As new growth came out I encouraged the branch that was pointing a little upwards to take the lead. The damage is hardly noticeable now. I must also mention the beautiful reddish color of the wood. A striking native, not to be missed. Love this! As a budding naturalist who works with the public on a regular basis, I so appreciate a place where I can troll for resources with ease, and you deliver with the most intriguing and interesting links. Thank you for your thorough work. I have two large bushes that were planted 20 years ago. Now I have small ones growing elsewhere in the yard. I live in southern Arizona at feet. They start blooming in January here and the fruit starts to ripen in May. Now early June the berries are ripening fast. How fantastic is this?! Thanks for writing about these guys! I just observed a house centipede cleaning itself today and found this article while googling the behavior. This post is brilliant! We had a memorably bad experience with a lunch snatching gull this summer too. Glad to learn about the diversity and food ways of this bird group. What all birds need when raising their young is insects. Baby birds need the concentrated fat and protien. This is a hard sell to gardeners. Very interesting points on whether feeding birds with bird feeders helps or hinders the local population. Some studies seem to indicate feeding birds in the winter is a good idea. I think the concept of planting native plants to encourage birds to the area is an excellent idea. Hi Kelly — big fan of MFG! The primary concern is that this weed spreads quite easily via birds and all parts of the plant can be toxic if ingested by humans or livestock. Hello Kelly! I am so happy to just now discover your site! Thank you! It is vigorous and dominant, so must be tended with this in mind. But often our toxic plants are therefore our most powerful plants; poisons kill poisons. Livestock will avoid it at all times unless their pasture or forage is so scarce or limited that they are desperate. Animals KNOW when a plant is poison and will not ingest it willingly. I love pokeweed and always allow some bushes to grow on our Botanical sanctuary. The birds and animals love them too. This is the Indian theory of existence. I have read many times that it is toxic. My mother who is now 89 still delights in finding it growing in her yard and starts picking the leaves to cook as soon as they are available in the spring. My favorite way to eat them is battered and fried but she also likes them cooked like turnip greens. I have seen pokeweed since I was a little girl 50 plus years ago. I learned the berries were poisonous but we used them as ink during play. Poke leaves can be eaten when the plant is young, although I never have. I have one plant growing up near my birdfeeders, obviously a seed was deposited there by my bird friends. If you research it, there are many varieties of milkweed available but be sure which variety is suitable for each butterfly species. But, nature knows best so, the butterflies will know which to use. I am sorry if this reply is not what you were seeking with your question. I have a couple of stands of chicory growing on each side of my driveway. The Goldfinches love it and return year after year. I love the blue flowers in the morning. It grows wild and all I had to do was not mow those sections of lawn. Surprisingly, I have had people ask me what those pretty blue flowers are. However, we can learn. We learned to appreciate abstract art, atonal music and modern dance. With a little help from wily environmentalists, we can learn to appreciate a garden as much for its wild and uninvited elements as its planned ones. Very nice book review — I enjoyed it very much! Thanks for the interesting info. Beavers are my special animal, so I hope we see some great evidence of their habitation. I shared the article with our FB Beaver Mgmt. Forum group. Fortunately some of the commenters are more progressive where beavers are concerned. Thanks for sharing it! Thanks for the post and information Kelly. I purchased a tube with 5 bee cocoons in it. I just took them out of my frig. And, in the plastic bag, there are a lot of little specks — are they little poops? Do I clean them off before I put the tube outdoors. It makes no sense to me how the cocoons at the back of the tube start to leave the tube first. How does it push out the one in front and the one in front of that, etc. Is the yellow fluggy stuff the pollen in the tube from last year? Good morning Kelly I just received my first order of mason bees! I have them now in a large plastic opaque box with a small plate of sugar water in the event they need energy and hydration. Most of the mason bees that I ordered are still in their cocoons, which are in the fridge and will be taken out in about a week when they are to be transplanted outside. I have a question that perhaps you can help me with. Just starting out in honey Bee Keeping, so I know there are no guarantees, but are there any ways to try to keep the mason bees attracted to their mason bee house I have two in the plastic box with them. I am hoping if I keep the mason bees in the box with their new mason bee house, they will get used to it and not fly away, once they are released? They will be released in a property with flowers and fruit trees so perhaps that will keep them around. It would be a bummer if they simply fly away. I live in the north of England. I think it might be hunting woodlice. Or it might have come in with the male house spiders. Oh joy. More multi-legged monstrosity. I absolutely love, love, love this plant! Have an abundance through summer and it breaks my heart to see it fade away already. Even though it was at the end of its blooming season, bees were still coming for the nectar I love bees, too and such a joy to see them all day busily working all the blooms. Again, so happy I caught sight of the picture just now! Fruit Gardener magazine needs photos of salmonberries. Do you have any we could use for publication? If so, please send to fg crfg. Awwwww, what a little cutie! Look at that face, cuteness explosion! I love this plant but i dont think i can get it in Africa Nigeria and if i can get it what is the commonly name in Nigeria. Kelly, Congratulations! I knew about your daughter but not the garden! I look forward to reading more about the garden and how your family engages with it all. I love your website. Do you have a subscription for newsletters? Would you be interested in talking more about writing a few articles for our editorial calendar? Thank you very much for taking the time to read some of my website! The sounds reflect off of this cooler layer and propagate further than they do when the warming ground lifts the air up. So the birds songs can be heard at a greater distance. I must say I thank you for the post about the centiped. When I was younger my dad told me they eat spiders not to kill them. After finding one on the wall I decided to investigate if they in fact do… thank you for sharing my? Brenner — thanks much for your helpful information. I now know exactly where to plant my new snowberry plants. Hopefully, the plantings will survive our recently-extreme frigid temps. Brenner — a question for you. Thanks, again. Hi dude. I might can help mate to send some from UK if you will send me some from your country eh? We had one visit our home today in southern Wisconsin. Definitely a beautiful creature…. Next time one visits we may just keep it in a terrarium. I was happy to see an article about them. Incidentally, we also have a bathroom spider. We named her Fido because she seems to be the size of a small dog! He shot across the wall like it was on fire. I know he keeps the place free of insects but it is still creepy. Good article. Kelly, Thank you so much for taking the time to write that comprehensive and lovely review! We truly appreciate it. If so, might you be willing to send me high-res versions, with permission to publish, as well as any photo credit information? This was a really nice read. Hi Catherine, Thank you for stopping by my website, I do own the copyright to the photographs in this post, but the planting template is owned by the Pollinator Pathway. Good for you, and us, Kelly! The hair ice and evening grosbeaks eating seeds are fascinating finds. I am a student at CC and I spend a few minutes every night… or more watching and walking around admiring the thousands of crows I would not be suprised if it well over 10, now. It is a beautiful spectacle of nature and one I hope we get to see for some time. We read bald eagle and crow books this week. Excellent review of a wonderful set of improvememts at the Zoo — which inspire us all! Bears love these things. Good news is they seem to stay busy in the berries! Thanks so much for this nice review of Baby Birds! I already want to do Vol. Best, Julie Zickefoose. Glad you are keeping the lilacs for now. I really like the flowers and their scent. And of course, those bees are voting with their buzz. All but the two photos of the flies were with my Nikon camera, the flies with my phone. Love this day project you are doing. And your woodland garden so lovely! I did something similar at my last property where we had a side yard that needed alot of love. The riverstone looks great. Sweet that you found a good place for the spider. I encounter many as I was landscaping last summer for work and always made the effort to move them somewhere safer. Thanks for visiting and taking the time to leave a comment! Anyone who takes the time to save spiders and other small creatures is a hero in my book. Very inspiring, I will follow your footsteps. People say that the best for of adulation is copying the best. So I will di just that. Thank you Georgia! I am so bummed right now that the only programs of his on Netflix are those that he narrated. None of the ones he was actually in the episodes are available for streaming. You are right. What a great day! You never know what is out there if you never take the time to stop and look. Good for you. Wow I want to get a look at your curiosity cabinet! Loved reading this post—I learned some new things! The change occurs so quickly. I must have driven right by you yesterday on my way back from Columbia NWR. Everything I am reading about the Eight spotted Skimmer says it is a western species. I have seen and photographed a female today in Ohio. Yes, everything indicates that Eight-spotted Skimmer is a western species. There are several species with very similar looking females, such as the Common Whitetail. You may submit your photos to BugGuide and see what they say about it. I woke up with one in my mouth once. I had bitten down in my sleep while snoring and it almost disintegrated in my mouth. I ran to the washroom, looked in the mirror and its legs were all over my tongue. I wish I could live harmoniously with them, but if I am aware of ones presence, I will do battle with it. Since I lack many many arms and legs to make it a fair fight, I utilize my superior technology. Thank goodness for my vacuum. Those who follow you know about your effort so you can drop it from your intro all together. Just my two cents! Such wonderful wildlife viewing! You are seeing so much just right in situ, cant wait to hear more! How totally frustrating for you, Kelly! By the way the moth photo from day is just beautiful. I am staring at it now. Welcome back! I was in your hood today, tidying up at the vacant lot. Glad you are back safe and sound and trust that Scotland was fabulous! Those syrphids — could it have been a mind-control fungal infection, or something? Oh good thought. Very odd. I did a quick search online and they look rather large. The ones I have are tiny but maybe there are more. I need to spend more time researching. Are you saying you purposely leave lights on to attract moths? Urban artificial lights are a major threat to moth and other populations. We leave our porch lights on for safety and all of our new porch lights are dark sky approved lights. Before we upgraded the lights, the old ones attracted moths, a few each week. During the summer I do put out moth traps or lights once in awhile to document the moths we have in this area and I try to submit them to various citizen science projects. Full of nature, adventure, politics and power, and family and friendships, I enjoyed this book very much. I too had a traumatizing experience. I got out of the shower one day and wrapped my towel around myself only to feel an odd wiggling sensation on my stomach. I looked and there it was, the centipede and legs crushed but still wiggling. I always shake out my towels rigorously now before using them.. Love it: pluviophile! I am too! The air always seems to fresh from a rainfall and I guess it is! Interesting read — thanks for the review! A librarian friend who follows your blog faithfully suggested that I browse through it because of the nature content. I thoroughly enjoyed browsing through it today. The bird in one of your photos with the gold spot on top of its head is called a Golden Crown Kinglet. They are busy in the spring time collecting seeds that have blown on the road from the winds in my neighborhood. Do any of you know where I might be able to find wild meaning in nature Snowberries in Washington state. I need a cup of the berries for my Biology class to get extra credit points, because my teacher is doing research on them. Any helpful hints as to where I can find some would be amazing! I planted a snowberry about 10 years ago in the rocky mountains. It has never produced flowers or berries. There is only one plant. It seems happy. The garden is on a south faced hill. The snowberry is in shade in the afternoon. The soil is alkaline. Help would be appreciated. You may try contacting your local extension service through your closest university for a better idea on your specific site. Luckily when we moved in the yard was mostly a blank canvas. I have a small shady backyard so it will be fun to see what is happy back there — right now I have zig zag golden rod which the pollinators love in the fall! I want to add some shrubs to introduce berries in our yard. Squirrel haven! Fortunately, for habitat, it only takes a little bit of improvement to see immediate results. It helps to keep me going with the rest of the yard. What amazing things you are noticing with this project! That mushroom want to call it a toadstool! Oh wow — that would have been an amazing experience! I remember working at a bird observation site for tagging one spring and watching insectivore birds flying low over the water snacking. It was such a cool sight. But bats — wow — never heard of that before! I was actually just reading another blog this morning and came upon a daytime bat post. Thanks for sharing — loved reading about your encounters — the bat house sounds like a great idea! I have read several of her posts in the past and follower her on Twitter as well. Both books sound very interesting — would be great to go to the talks! I have been fascinated with the idea of daylighting streams ever since I learned about the practice years ago! Incredible about the straightened Duwamish! Did you read the articles about the Bronx River beavers? Love how the owl photography is really a study in behaviour — will have to look this up. Sounds like you have amazing naturalists in your neck on the woods! We have a lot of waterways and there are beavers in a large percentage of them. I got to see a couple of them not long ago in a newly opened park. Those white stalks look like the same thing that were growing in my yard last week. I love the water droplets on the leaves. Aptly said. Today is a very dark day in American politics. My son and I are fans of Magic School Bus. I wonder why. I was interested in science even then. Thanks for mentioning the future of science and women in STEM giving recent events. Holding on to the set for when Afton now 4 is a bit older. I absolutely love thrift store books and finding the treasures. Especially older, out-of-print books. Lucky win for you! The river otters are quite a presence on the eastern edge of the Portage Bay houseboat community. I hear their eek-eek frequently, hear them playing on the floating dock now and again, see them occasionally—and hose their poop off my deck every day that I neglect to squirt the edges with vinegar! Interesting fact: otter poo is called spraint and apparently it has very unique aromas! Great tradition! Thanks Georgia! So wonderful! We just found a new pair on the Ottawa River last weekend on our walk. Always so cool to watch! Interesting—the crows in my neighborhood near the University Bridge head north to the end of Lake Washington. Thanks for sharing your titles. I hope you enjoy it Georgia! And I hope you can read the whole series, the first book is by far the best and absolutely hilarious. I suspect it will be one of the few books I read more than once. This is lovely Kelly — the sound is such an additional treat!! It would be really wonderful to see all those ducks together. I use an app on my android phone which works pretty well for me. I had a rubber case and every time my fingers moved it added creaking noises to the recordings. Hi there- I really enjoyed this article and have been trying to contact Keith Geller for some landscape design work and have been unsuccessful. I was wondering if you might have any other contact information? Thanks, Sherri. Hello Kelly. I read today your article about the wetlands at Sunset Park in Corvallis pictures seem to be missing, though. I moved to Corvallis last year and live adjacent to the park. I cherish that little piece of wetland, and visit it almost daily. The wetland is still healthy, and many things as you described. I also saw a green heron, and that was quite a nice treat. The busy beaver or, I suspect, an offspring kit is also busy building on a little tributary that runs through the apartment complex into the wetland. Consequently, there is a little pond adjacent to the western boardwalk. Two days ago, I saw a mother duck nestled on the side of that pond with little ducklings. I saw my first dragonfly of the season last night unsure of the type, but it was incredibly large , and I look forward to being able to identify the various species of dragonflies and damselflies this summer. Your list should get me a head start — thanks! And thank you for the lovely write up re the wetland. I thought you might like to know that it continues to be healthy six years later. Hi Debra, thank you so much for the update! PS — All is well. I just saw the pictures on your site. The wetland still looks the same …. Hi Pamela, your best bet would be to try the Native Plant Society. These crows caught my attention when I worked in a Renton high rise. Every night even in wind and rain storms, the healthy crows with no eggs or hatchlings flew over our building all together. Blanketing the sky. The late ones usually had a partner. It was just amazing. They also seem to rest for a while beforehand, between South Center and Renton. I think they make stops like a caravan, uniting and communicating with so many neighborhood flocks as each little group joins the big group. The parking lot you describe is the WOTC main lot. I worked there for four years and saw this massive murder take place every year. Around October? In the Fall for sure. Sad to see them go elsewhere though. One of my favorite times of year at WOTC. Thanks for posting this! Also, I can confirm what Christopher Tardiff said: as I was leaving work the night before Halloween in , I saw hundreds of crows in the trees lining the Wizards of the Coast parking lot. I was pretty bewildered, but to the few coworkers I told—who had all been there awhile—this seemed like kind of a regular thing. Saw them often over the freeway after that. By law I have the right to make my own pollinator garden under the laws digression and have a wild life area for watching wild animals like deer rabbits or fox or even turkey, carne excetra to feed and thrive! I also like photography hoping for maybe a photo contest! Also individual rights division and police surely would help if it came to that situation! Anyway, good thought to pass onto other wildlife and pollinator enthusiast! I have watched these same crows every year while I commute to work. I would love to see where their rookery is. I will try. If you are willing. To share more details of its location I would love To check it out! I have a beared dragon that I feed crickets on a daily basis. One or two inevitably escape. This morning while cleaning my hallway I met one if these beautiful centipedes. I mistook it for a cricket at first, the hall was dark. I have it in a plastic container and after reading your blog, I want to let it go inside my house, but it is a little creepy, just as it is fascinating. I think I will relocate it to the basement, where most of my crickets end up at and pray it has a good life. By the way, you said they only live three years, right? Is that 3 years after becoming an adult with all its legs or from birth? Perhaps this is a dumb question but just out of curiosity— why more prevalent in the moss on on the roof? How do they get there? Surprisingly, although they are tiny, they can travel far. They can land just about anywhere. This is very interesting! I do wonder if everyone is reading reports of sea serpents, and then making up an encounter or subconsciously creating a false memory. But still, the possibility that something is genuinely out there is fascinating! Thank you David! I have read part of that book, but never finished it. I will have to revisit to learn about the east coast observations. Loved your article! Thank you for the detailed, light humored centipede post. After finding yet another house centipede this particular one with flowing locks legs was nestled inside my sleep mask next to my bed. I remember reading they like to dine on other indoor insects but I wanted to do some fact checking and found your piece. Alas, my house centipedes no longer need to fear being squashed; hunt away you creepy night creepers. But a warning to them and their offspring — stay off my bed and away from my sleep mask! Did you ever find out what the black spherical slime mold is? I found some in Lakeridge Park. Loved your book! Hit enter to search or ESC to close. Close Search.
