Went on our near-annual thousand islands birding trip yesterday. It started snowing on the ferry ride back!
Snowy Owl numbers weren’t as high as some years and we didn’t find any Short-eared, but we had luck with cooperative Snow Bunting flocks (and a surprise mammal!)

Look at this ANT PLANT.
The last week of lab in the Ecology class I’m TAing this semester is a tour of the UMN Conservatory, a gorgeous space full of weird and wonderful plants.
I knew about plants that made homes for their ant mutualists, but not that they got this elaborate!
