Visit any swamp in our parks and you will see spring unfurling right before your very eyes. The leaves of skunk cabbage are beginning to unfurl and many leaves of our first spring wildflowers are beginning to peek through the leaves. Posted 4/9/15.
The first of the early spring flowers brings some early pollinators to our gardens.
The mating flight of the male woodcock is known as the sky dance. Throughout Indiana County in fields and meadows the male woodcock is performing his acrobatic flight to impress the nearby females. The dance begins about an hour before sunset and again about an hour before sunrise. Listen for a loud peenting sound of the male and then the distinctive fluttering of the wings as they ascend and descend at their calling grounds. Photo: Wikipedia Creative Commons License.
