Continuing on with the first First Wednesday outing! The group watches for all the flora and fauna. For example, the Indigo Bunting gave some nice views of it singing its song. Butterflies were not numerous, but there were some sulphurs, Buckeyes, fritillaries and various moths. So I am certainly looking forward to the next First…

Another favorite stop on the Shirley driving tour as I like to call it, is the Becker Prairie! A small five or so acres of untouched native North Texas prairie. This was the last stop of the day, if you don’t count DQ. Butterfly wishes Loud Fireball: A Fiery Meteor Streaked Across the Mississippi Skies…
On we traveled to the next stop on the same road. We watched carefully for other special plants but they were not up yet. Crows and ravens took over the world because they’re spookily smart (and brawny, too) Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more…
It could not have been a more beautiful day on Tuesday. We were hitting some of Shirley’s favorite spots. And it had been awhile since we had visited them. The spreading of the seafloor has slowed, and scientists aren’t sure why Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you…
