Fourth Week of August
A raptor has many more cones per millimeter than humans do and its visual acuity is more than twice as good as ours.The flowers, roots, and seeds of evening primrose are edible. You can add the
flowers to a stir fry or a salad.
The brown thrasher loves to sing, and he has as many as 2,000 songs in his repertoire.
Dog-day cicadas are emerging as adults. The nymphs of these annual cicadas have been feeding on the roots of pines and oaks for the past year.
First Week of September
The milk snake eggs laid early in summer are hatching.You might still find a delicious edible giant puffball if you spend time walking in fields and are lucky.
