Raven Recovery

June 28, 2021 by Larry Hubbell 1 Comment

There are young Ravens in the Arboretum for the second year in a row. They are noisy, rambunctious, and highly entertaining. I hope you get a chance to see them. See more on:

Elderberry Whine

June 24, 2017 by Larry Hubbell Leave a Comment

Can you name three local species of birds which eat elderberries? You will be able to if you read this week’s post on:

Union Bay Watch

Have a great day on Union Bay…where nature lives in the city!

Larry

ps: I forgot to include cedar waxwings as one of the three species which eats elderberries, but they do eat them and they are a perfectly valid answer.
