"In areas densely packed with tall cattails," @adrianaperez.bsky.social reports, "muskrats create a 'patchwork' of small openings that allow plants of different heights to grow. That, in turn, creates habitat for diverse native wildlife."
Muskrats fight invasive cattails and help restore biodiversity in Great Lakes wetlands, Loyola study finds
Dam-building beavers are known for changing their ecosystems; muskrats can substantially alter vegetation structure.

This week, migrating monarchs stopped to roost in large clusters among the branches of silver maples and spruce in rural Ohio. It was a spectacular sight! #monarchs

Gracklepalooza continues with no signs of slowing!
This male Common Grackle was heading over to the tree nearer the creek. It always amazes me how birds fly among tree branches so easily!

Ok large format folks I need help. What’s a good large format camera to consider? I prefer something portable (I can walk with it in a backpack) and well made. Would it be a Chamomix or Linhof? I want to take large format nature photos.
