Badly worn hawk feathers are molted and new ones grown before the fall migration.
The three petaled flowers of Common Arrowhead grace the still waters of ponds and set-backs.
And Beech Blight Aphids lift posteriors covered in waxy secretions into the air and wave them in unison to warn off predators thus earning them the much better common name of Boogie-Woogie Aphids!
