Macroinvertebrates--How to Find Them

by melynda

Ok, I'll be back from Glacier when you read this, but I am still preposting one more rerun. I'm typing this before I leave, but I know how much recovery time I'll need after spending a week in the tent with two little boys. You know there is an inordinate amount of laundry. I'll be back live in the next post, but this is a good one!

This is the first in a series of posts on macroinvertebrate activities.

Who doesn't like to crouch on the edge of a stream, or stand knee deep in crystal clear water, looking under rocks? First the water rushes by and chills your fingers, then you feel the smooth texture of a well-weathered stone as you pull it from the streambed.

Summer bucket list

by melynda

Debi over at Go Explore Nature posted a summer bucket list--the things she wants to do this summer.

She inspired me to do the same. So, here are the things I'd like to do outdoors this summer.

* Camp with my family and friends in Glacier National Park
* Spend a few days in Yellowstone with a girlfriend
* Introduce my kids to s'mores
* Float the Yellowstone River with the kids
* Attend an outdoor music festival
* Star gaze
* Harvest lots and lots of food from my garden

What's on your summer bucket list?

Engage in a bird search

Trail report

It’s springtime and the birds are chirping. Take a walk—or look out your window—to discover who your avian friends are and what they are up to.

Wishing it was summer while embracing the snow

by melynda

It's only the beginning of May and I live in Montana. I know that. Warm weather usually doesn't grace these parts (or our parts) until the end of June. I know that. Still...I wish it was summer.
