      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Double-Crested Cormorant - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Their preferred habitats are aquatic bodies big enough to support their mostly fish diet. They can usually be found near large waterways, on the refuge they gather in large numbers on the Tennessee River. They mainly eat fish which they catch by diving under water and chasing down while swimming. The tip of their bill is shaped like a hook, which is helpful in catching prey. The two main activities these birds engage in are fishing and resting.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Double-Crested Cormorant - They will spend more than half their day resting in trees. One of the reasons for this is that Cormorants produce less water-repellent oils than other waterfowl so they spend lots of time drying their feathers after hunting. They can sometimes be seen perching in trees with their wings outstretched, drying their feathers.</image:title>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Snowy Egret - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Their diet mostly consists of small aquatic animals like fish and crustaceans. They often employ a sit-and-wait method to capture prey but may be seen frantically chasing after them too. Another common technique they use when hunting is digging around with their feet to stir up the prey underwater and then spearing them with their bill. They are highly social birds and can be seen foraging with other species, such as gulls, terns and other herons and egrets.  Snowy Egrets can be found around the refuge in our various wetland areas. The snowy egret in the photographs was spotted in White Springs. (Photos by Tom Ress)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Great Blue Heron - They have slaty gray flight feathers, red-brown thighs, and a paired red-brown and black stripe up the flanks; the neck is rusty-gray, with black and white streaking down the front; the head is paler, with a nearly white face, and a pair of black or slate plumes runs from just above the eye to the back of the head.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The bill is dull yellow, becoming orange briefly at the start of the breeding season.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Great Blue Heron - They are found in large numbers in marshes, swamps, flooded meadows, lake edges and ponds. They tolerate the presence of people and may be seen in heavily developed areas as long as there is water with prey nearby. Fish make up the majority of their diet, but they will eat almost anything including salamanders, turtles, snakes, rodents, and other small birds. Great Blue Herons nest in large colonies called rookeries, often found in trees around 20 to 60 feet high. Often these birds are relatively quiet, but rookeries are quite noisy, and the sound of a Great Blue is described as a cranky squawk.</image:title>

      <image:caption>Chimney swifts build a nest of twigs and saliva stuck to a vertical surface, which is almost always a human-built structure, typically a chimney. These artificial towers provide swifts a place to construct their nests. Hopefully we will have nesting chimney swifts for years to come at the refuge! (Photo by Tom Ress)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Turk’s Cap Lily - While this plant is frequently and commonly encountered within the Blue Ridge Mountains, for those of us in the mid-Atlantic area finding even a single plant is rather more of a special event (in parts of the south I’ve heard it referred to by local folks as “ditch weed”!, a nickname that seems at least inappropriate for our location). For any of us fortunate enough to procure a plant and successfully protect it from deer the rewards are substantial.</image:title>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Turk’s Cap Lily - Towering over most garden plants (8’+) it is topped with candelabras of downward facing flowers whose petals curl back up to resemble the shape of a Turkish hat (Fez). Prefers wet soil conditions with its head up in the sun, though is quite adaptable to partially shaded sites with average soil moisture.</image:title>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Bee Balm, Bergamot - In addition to the outstanding color and distinctive flower heads, leaves, young plant tips and flowers can be used raw or cooked for culinary accent. Oswego Indians (Oswego River district near Lake Ontario, Canada), taught colonists to make tea with it, and likely how to use it for other conditions - indigenous Americans throughout the Eastern US, use(d) this plant to treat fever and chills, headaches, sore throats, flatulence, nausea, vomiting, insect bites, bronchial congestion and as a sedative to promote restful sleep.</image:title>
      <image:caption>After the famous Boston Tea Party, the plant became widely substituted for teas imported from Europe, at least until after the American Revolution.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Bee Balm, Bergamot - Bergamot alludes to its fragrance’ similarity to the aroma of the bergamot orange; bee balm comes from its popularity with bees, though these flowers are too long for all but the largest, longest-tongued bees (bumble bees) to access the nectar through the opening of the flower. Less well-equipped bees (or wasps) otherwise need to chew holes near the base to access that nectar - what some call “robbing” from the flower, as those individuals take that flowers’ sweet reward without offering up their return gift of pollination.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Probably best placed in gardens in full sun or partial shade with average to moist soils. In the wild this species is more frequently found in upper elevations of the piedmont within seeps, along streambanks and within wooded openings.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Bee Balm, Bergamot - The genus name (Monarda) is in honor of Nicolas Monardes of Seville, Spain, who in 1569 published a massive text on the medicinal values of New World Plants. The species name, didyma, meaning “two parts” or “in pairs”, refers to the two stamens in each flower or the way its leaves are borne opposing one another along the stems.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a terrific hummingbird and butterfly nectar plant with many named selections for the garden available in the trade. These vary in intensity and shade of color (red to purplish, purplish-blue) and greater resistance to powdery mildew, a common fungal infection of many plants. Pictured are various cultivars whose names I’ve lost track of, but viewed in profile, all flowers remind me of a person with shaggy hair!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Dense Blazing Star - One of the “Hot” plants of summer, this vertically oriented plant with grass-like leaves and vivid, rosy-purple flower spikes (good in cut or dried arrangements), is one that’s typically easy-to-grow in full sun in moist/average soils (even wet) in formal and/or wild gardens.</image:title>
      <image:caption>It is also a terrific pollinator plant that benefits bees/butterflies/hummingbirds and has relatively large seeds that can feed many songbirds.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Dense Blazing Star - Flower buds first begin opening at the tip of the spike, followed by those below, and the progression of seed ripening follows this same pattern. The picture to the right catches one successful bee, its hind legs loaded with pollen, actively foraging among the active flowers.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Gardeners who love knowing their native plants can also feed birds will do well to remember that not removing the spent, browned-out flowers to “tidy up” or encourage additional flowering displays (a practice called deadheading) will lead to fully ripened seeds that many songbirds are fully cognizant of finding and feasting upon.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Dense Blazing Star - This final picture shows fully ripened slate-colored seeds, each complete with a tuft of light brown hairs that act like a parachute, enabling them to hitch rides on air currents and animal fur and travel to new locations with the aim of starting the next chapter in their lives (if they are not eaten, of course, and rarely, if ever, are all eaten).</image:title>
      <image:caption>Perhaps surprisingly, this species has rather a long list of medicinal uses. Among many others, as an antibacterial, an expectorant, diuretic and stimulant, for the treatment of sore throats, gonorrhea and kidney stones.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Milkweeds - Milkweed plants are the exclusive food of the caterpillars (larvae) of the Monarch butterfly. Only milkweed plants provide the essential nutritional profile that young Monarchs require.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In addition, as Monarch caterpillars consume milkweed leaves and flowers, they are also ingesting chemical compounds (cardiac glycosides) which do not harm them but make them horrible tasting (even toxic) to certain predators (birds, spiders, etc.). After one bite, most would-be predators (not all – that’s another story) quickly learn to leave monarchs alone.    Pic #1, Asclepias syriaca. Now flowering in most of our area are the near tennis ball-sized clusters of extremely fragrant flowers (overload for some folks!) of our Common Milkweed. This species is not clump-forming in its growth habit—its root system will wander about to form a loose colony of many stems—plan accordingly if planting into a highly controlled garden setting, and keep in mind it can take up to three years before they bloom and produce seeds.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Milkweeds - Pic #2, Asclepias tuberosa. While totally lacking the fragrance of Common Milkweed, and differing in having a clumping growth habit, not a colony forming growth habit, Butterfly Weed or Butterfly Milkweed, has a color so intense one can’t help but notice them (glowing orange is most typical but red or very pale yellow also occur).</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sometimes called Railroad Annie for their tendency to grow along gritty, stony railroad embankments, this milkweed is completely at-home in sunny, hot, dry locations.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Milkweeds - Pic #3, Asclepias incarnata. Following up on the previous two milkweed species is this one that loves “wet feet”, meaning a place where its roots reach into wet soils (edge of a pond, stream, or just growing in a low spot where water pools for a period of time after rain fall). Swamp Milkweed is also clump forming in growth habit. Its flowers have no appreciable fragrance to humans.</image:title>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Milkweeds - Adult Monarchs do sip nectar from milkweed flowers, but they also sip nectar from a wide array of other flower types – it is the young monarchs that have the requirement to feed exclusively on the softish parts of milkweed plants.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Milkweeds are also of great importance to a wide array of other “non-poster children” insect species, all of which have their own stories, such as the Red Milkweed Beetles (seen here).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Bottlebrush Buckeye</image:title>
      <image:caption>First described for the developing trade in North American native plants by William Bartram when he explored the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida in 1773-1778, this is truly one of the most spectacular flowering shrubs, due to the shape and size of its bottlebrush-like flower spikes (easily 8 – 12”, often to 18”!) and the timing of their display - a point in the summer when few other woody plants are showy. This is best in part shade/shade and is a colony-forming shrub (spreads sideways via roots which then send up stems), typically reaching 8-12’ tall (to 15’) with a similar width, but once it has had a chance to settle in for a few decades, might well become a 40’ wide colony.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Bottlebrush Buckeye - To many human noses these flowers, looking so much like rockets-blasting-off, are fragrant; they are inarguably terrific sources of nectar for all manner of small bees. Will tolerate short periods of saturated soils, leaves turn a golden yellow in the fall, and the entire plant is typically shunned by deer and rabbits.</image:title>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Spiderwort - Viewed from a historical perspective, the present popularity of planting native plants in gardened landscapes is a relatively new development in America.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Within certain circles of plant-savvy people it was, and may still be, often said, usually sarcastically, that no American native plant ever received proper recognition in its homeland until it had been to England, given a pedigree by English gardeners and then presented back to Americans as a plant worth knowing about.</image:caption>
    </image:image>
    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ff668829df92c692e8eb33a/1729255686134-BZAM8YSVU1TT96PHH8GR/image.jpeg</image:loc>
      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Spiderwort - Case in point: while indigenous Americans undoubtedly had their own awareness, uses and names for these plants (as well as all other plants that grew around them), the genus name, Tradescantia, comes from John Tradescant, the younger, who was an English botanist, plant explorer and eventual gardener to Charles I. John Tradescant explored Virginia in a series of trips (at least between 1628 and 1637) and brought back some of these species to England where they became aristocratic members in the gardens of Charles I and Charles II.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The common name, Spiderwort, has several explanations. Some have it that the three petaled flowers (which can be lighter or darker blue/purple/reddish, even white) resemble a large squatting spider. Another attributes the property of the sap of the plant forming, when a stem is broken open, thin strands like those of a spider’s web. A third likens the thick cluster of wavy hairs found on the stamens of each flower to a spider’s efforts.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Spiderwort - Bees of all sorts nectar on these flowers, and although the blooming period for this perennial is around six weeks, each flower lasts less than one full day. They open pert and eager in the morning but begin wilting long before the end of the day, turning into a jelly-like fluid (which stains, and brings us to the third common name: widow’s tears). On sunny days the longevity of each flower is shorter; it is somewhat longer on gray days.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This species is very, very similar to Tradescantia virginiana, though a little taller (2-4’) and probably more at home in full sun conditions. It is widely tolerant of sunlight levels, soil types, and self-seeds easily (even in well-established plantings of Japanese pachysandra!).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Hearts-a-Busting</image:title>
      <image:caption>This medium-sized (up to 6’-ish tall) deciduous native shrub, now flowering, is likely underwhelming to most all viewers in most all aspects until late September, when the fruit that appears from these quiet, less-than-a-dime sized flowers approaches the unforgettable: strawberry-sized, rough-textured and crimson colored, these eye-catching fruits split open to reveal bright orange seeds that fall free as the spikey outer capsule dries, shrinks slightly and pulls open to release them. Easily resembles a strawberry or a heart bursting open.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Hearts-a-Busting - It is tolerant of Black Walnut trees, though gardeners take note: if you can find this plant for sale and do add it to your gardens, deer are more than a little fond of this. While found in relative abundance in wild areas in NJ at the same northerly latitude as our Southeastern PA counties, it is listed as rare in PA, no doubt at least partly due to the high deer density in Southeastern PA and their seemingly unanimous appreciation for this plant.</image:title>

      <image:title>Native Plant/Wildlife Blog - Cicada - Alabama is in the midst of the emergence now. They emerge from their underground havens after the soil temperature reaches 64 degrees which means they have been around for about a month now. They mate, the females lay their eggs in trees and the adults die. The babies burrow back into the ground and remain there for 13 or 17 years, depending on the brood. They only remain active above ground for about eight weeks so we will start to notice a gradual lessening of the population.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Humans can eat cicadas. They should be eaten while they are still white in color, before their bodies mature and harden. They reportedly taste like canned asparagus. You’ll have to let us know if that is true. (Photos by Tom Ress)</image:caption>
