Late July


The WILD Trail is full of life in July.


The bluebirds hatched and will be flying in another week.  How many do you see here?


The Monarch butterflies have discovered our milkweed and laid their eggs. It's possible that this is the generation that will begin migrating south to Mexico. 



July has been a rainy month and lots of animals have been trecking through the wetland parts of the WILD Trail.  What tracks can you spot here?


And, someone's been playing with the bones in the bone pile.

Flowers in bloom right now include:


Blue vervain


goldenrod



unknown 


Monkey flower


New York iron weed


Teasel


coreospis

Also noted but not photographed were Culver's root and Northern bugleweed.
