Today White Snakeroot is starting to flower along roadsides and in thickets.
On Milkweeds, Monarch Caterpillars and Milkweed Tussock Caterpillars were busily eating. It is thought that Monarch caterpillars may favor new tender leaves while Milkweed Tussock caterpillars will feed on older, tougher growth.
And in the woods, newly fledged Broad-winged Hawks begged to be fed. Five or six weeks from now those currently helpless youngsters will be making a migration … to Central or possibly South America!
