These photos were taken at Florida Native
Plants Nursery. Be certain to click on the
charming thumbnail image, Composting with
Worms and Wabbits! Well, they spell it "Rabbits." And, Mark, who knows? Perhaps if you
have a chance to visit Florida Native Plants, you
will have an opportunity to see a Great Crested
Flycatcher close-up! If not, there are beautiful
butterflies and wabbits to see and a Florida-native and Florida-friendly plant to bring home to
your garden. FNP is also pet-friendly; do bring
Rover along to check it out!

Second from my Inbox: Intrepid and adventurous naturalists Diane and Rick Wulterkens
spent the morning of May 4 on a butterfly
field trip to Red Bug Slough (RBS). It is simply awesome that such a wilderness exists in
the heart of developed suburban Sarasota! I
swooped by there a couple of years ago to
check out a very attractive Eastern-screech
Owl (that's another one like me!) but saw far
too many Unidentified Flying Hawks there, so
I returned permanently to my oak branch on
south Siesta Key.
