Around the last week of May and the first week of June, after the great wildflower and warbler marathon has wound down, there tends to be a comparative lull in nature observation at Prairie Pond Woods. Not that there isn't a myriad of fabulous things going on...it's just that most of the butterflies, dragonflies, and prairie plants are not as ephemeral as wood warblers and, well, ephemerals...so I take a little breather. Prairies don't really burst into bloom until mid- to late-summer but even now there are a few things up and blooming that are noteworthy. Enjoy!
