Third day

ByMary March 29, 2022March 29, 2022

Gosh was it ever windy today over at the Caddo NG. But that was pretty much everywhere in North Texas. However today, we were mostly shielded from the wind by the tree line. And the wind made it not so hot. Update on today’s mission…we found 20 plants of Baptisia. No Frosted Elfins, but then…

A lot…

So did you think I was going to title the second post from the Caddo as the “Second Day”? Actually I was until we had finished the day. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

First day

Today was the first day of the camping trip for the Frosted Elfin survey at Caddo NG! Fingers crossed for success! Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

Sprung!

Sure felt like spring has sprung today! It won’t be long until the hummers and the scissortails are back. My neighbor’s Purple Martins are back. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

The other day, I found tiny insects were gathering on the inside of the glass on the shop window and the sliding door. I have seen these in years past. However on that particular cloudy and rainy day, I decided to see if I could figure out what the heck they were. So it looks…

We were still going about 2pm. By this time we were back along the front of the unit. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

Along side the trees

We headed back out from under the trees, but staying near the trees where we could see more open areas of the prairie. Jeanne took off into the field, hunting for the chorus frogs. No luck as when she approached the sounds, they stopped chirping she said. Meet the Ecologist Who Wants You to Unleash…

We reached the fence line

Switching back to the Caddo NG from a week ago. As with many a fence line in Texas, the trees sprout up. Hope everyone got some good rain yesterday. And I for one, will be glad to see warmer weather tomorrow. Rediscovering Rome’s Female Merchants The rise of citational justice: how scholars are making references…

A headache…

I really never go to the grasslands on the weekends, but Sunday I did not pass up the chance when I got the invite yesterday! It was nice to see people out on the trails from adults to families with small children. Yeah, I hope they all had fun! I know I did! Did you…

A First Wed

Byadmin March 20, 2022March 20, 2022

Some of you will know about First Wed. Others not. So First Wed is short for First Wednesday. This is what I called the monthly hikes I led on the LBJ National Grasslands on the first Wednesday of each month. Of course, that was before COVID-19. To dip my toes back in, I found a…
