Merry Christmas!🎄

They are aggressive birds who use their pointy beaks as weapons to attack the native birds off their own feeders. They tanked out the sunflower seed that was meant for our sweet native birds like gold finches, chickadees and nut hatches. The native are starving because of these PS. Pine Siskins are not welcome in my backyard.

Thank you for this information! I was under the false assumption that most gift wrap could be recycled. I have been trending towards using/reusing gift bags but I’ll be even more mindful of using alternative gift wrapping options.

😂Way to go Brian

I'm pretty sure the best instruction is on WoodPrix.

Excellent video presentation Martha - I live in Ontario and (as we are fairly close to one another) our frog species are very similar - in Ontario the Pickerel Frog is of special concern, the Fowler’s Toad is endangered and the Blanchard’s Cricket Frog has been extirpated (last seen on Pelee Island in 1993) - we do not have Cope’s Gray Treefrog here in Ontario, but we have the Boreal Chorus Frog (Pseudacris maculata) in northern Ontario - in the beautiful chorus at the end of your video I believe I could hear Spring Peeper, Western Chorus Frog, Northern Leopard Frog and (more faintly) Wood Frog - we have a herp atlas for Ontario and am glad Michigan has had one for a long time too - love your video - very well done - I really enjoyed it - thanks for posting

This was great information thank you

Have a great week also.

great clarity in color and descriptive adjectives. You think of everything to describe that we would need to ID plant and nuture in the best ecological setting . Good timing as I am planting 8 of them this morning.

NICE TOUR AND COMMENTARY ABOUT THE NATIVE PLANTS OF ACADIA.

You present the vernal pool well and they sound even more interesting now. :) They are beautiful with a rich widelife. Did you wear rubber boots there?

Just here to say that I absolutely love my new "Dinette Recycled Feeder"!!! I received it on October 30th and put it out and had instant gratification with Tufted titmouse, chickadees, blue jays, nuthatches and bluebirds, cardinals came the next morning. Love this feeder and am very happy with this purchase and highly recommend.) Best of both with the hopper feeder and platform. My birds are happy!

Maine is fantastic!!

Congrats on the back to back nominations and win!

I've heard them a couple of times lately, and I want to put up a box for them. We have a TON of raccoons, so I'm assuming this will be a situation where we need to use a pole. The thing I'm confused about is that many people say you MUST have the box on a telescoping pole to check the box, but if the box were to be tree-mounted you can't check it. So... so I need to have a telescoping pole for this box? Also, I do have bluebird next boxes with only one pair at a time nesting each year, so am I asking for trouble with this, or is the screech owl going to be more interested in lizards etc. more than birds? I do know they eat birds, but... I would love your take on what I'm considering. Thanks for all the wonderful videos.

I absolutely love your channel

Thanks for the info! Great video! My Minnesota feathered friends will love a cozy roosting pocket!

Good job! Count me in. I can't wait to help.

I have so many questions lol help!

What kind of tree should I use for the caterpillar to make a chrysalis?

Thank you

White snakeroot is poisonous and as you mentioned it is reported that milk from cows that ate it killed President Lincoln's mother. It can be invasive and that's the main reason I'm not a fan. Wish I had not introduced it to my yard despite its flowers. I'm going to try and dry someof the flowers though and see if it may have some positive value for me but I'm not hopeful given their fluffiness. I did not know the story about how milk sickness was discovered! Thank you for a very informative discussion.

This is such a wonderful demonstration! Thank you!

This was very informative and helpful. Thanks a bunch!

9/23/24 Have hummingbirds left? I haven't seen any in several days now, after having seen them several times a day only a week or so ago.

Use in floral arrangements in my own home and lasts for 3 weeks . AND deer will not eat it. There are many poisonous plants in arrangements. Just use common sense.

Love how this looks! How many plants did you plant to get it to look like this?

Thank you so much for this wisdom it's very thorough and by that actually usable. I'm very subsetable to all the things you mentioned that it can help with... ❤😊

Just a shameless plug for your Shepard pole feeder with raccoon baffle- it has effectively broken the will of any raccoon or squirrel to even go near the feeders anymore, where everything else failed. I have a full week of trail cam footage to prove it. EXCELLENT product!!

My raccoons destroy my suet feeder. This is a great idea.

I’ll have to remember those products, as they solve 2 problems- pesky 4-legged thieves and the bird seed waste from messy eaters. The only benefit from errant seed on the ground are volunteer sunflower plants popping up in my garden area which has been kind of fun. 🌻🌻🌻

And this plant is edible also

Very good!

If you accidentally touch it or will you be okay because I was walking and I walked through the plant and I don't know if my hand might have touched it.

Very interesting! Never new that kind of thing was found in the north. The ant/egg connection is too fun. I had heard of that with seeds...but another insect, cool...

Have tried a few times to grow this in southern NY state...no bueno. Then I see it thriving here in a supermarket parking lot island, baking in sun and surrounded by asphalt and concrete. I'm assuming it likes to suffer... A lot

Mine are tough. I planted three in the very dry way back garden. Doing pretty good! Oh, and I had a bad Japanese beetle problem this year. They didn’t touch these. Neither do the deer and bunnies.

Can this be transplanted?

Great informative video! Thanks for sharing.

I planted a few in the "way back garden" in the spring and forgot about them. They took right off. One bloomed this year and the bees love them!

Just was thinking about adding this cool-looking plant to my pollinator garden. Thanks for the info!

I have the same box I see branch material in it it’s July now I don’t want to disturb it just in case

I’m so happy I found your video wonderful information but I have a question I planted a little gym magnolia in my front yard so is this the host plant For the eastern tiger swallowtail? I also planted some milkweed and this is my first year seeing butterflies everywhere

Thanks this help out a lot

What other specific plants do you let take over after spiderwort?

The Les Cheneaux and Drummond Island are a fantastic areas. I found a albino Fringed Polygala near the Drummond rest stop.

Thanks very helpfull

Thanks for sharing good informational video! I've been searching for info since the middle of June to figure out how to get three 4th instar cats off my potted Sassafras tree into an enclosure I've used to raise Monarchs. My first pupated 6/14/24. After spending many, many hours with them not knowing how long it takes to actually pupate, the last one pupated yesterday. Now I wait for them to eclose. According to your video, it looks similar to the Monarchs. Now I wait and hope to get lucky to watch at least one of my Spicebush Swallowtails eclose.

Excellent info! Do they spread and if so are they aggressive?

I was given two cuttings of this from a friend, do you know if it’s possible to root from cuttings? I’d like to have it in my Garden
