365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Avast, Ye Who Sail Lake St. Clair!
Day 261: 'Tis a word t' th' wise I'll be givin' ye: dinna be a'ter molestin' th' Sundews o' Lake St. Clair fer they be guarded by th' most ferociousest o' pirates in th' 'ole o' th' Pacific Northwest. 'Tis Cap'n Morgan Corbye 'erse'f wot pertects them, an' ye never knows whereat she might be layin' by. Comes an' goes like th' mist, they says, an' disguises 'erse'f t' be tooken fer a common sailor, but mind ye well! Should she come alongside ye, ye'd best hove to an' be prepared t' show ye've no pilfered plants aboard. St. Clair is deep waters, matey, an' stained wi' th' blood o' many wot tried t' lift one o' them sticky little devils.
