Did you know that Eastern Grey Squirrels can digest both ripe and unripe acorns? This year-round ability to eat acorns helps them to be such adept mative oak tree seed dispersers. They are always running around in search of acorns, burying or caching them for later, and forgetting about them or never returning, allowing the seeds to germinate. Not all squirrel species can do this!

Upcoming December Programs

Coniferous evergreens provide such valuable food and shelter for birds and small mammals over winter. The cones hold on to the seeds, which can be broken into with beaks or claws and have some good nutrients! When the cone is all closed up (those tight little ones at the bottom), it's harder to get to the seeds and the tree itself isn't ready to disperse them, but as conditions improve and the seeds mature, the cones spread the scales out more and look "fluffier".

Eastern Blue-eyed Grasses are my flora illustration for the #WildArt2021 prompt: "In-peril".
