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.

Didja Miss Me?
Day 355: My poor Sundews must have thought I'd forgotten about them! Between wind and a busy schedule, I had not had a chance to get out in the kayak since late August until today, and the first order of business was to check on my little friends. I am happy to report that they are prospering on both of Jack's logs; however, the colony on the wandering dock I call "Sundew Island" is suffering for lack of light at its new location. There is no way that I could return it to its former spot without committing an act of criminal trespass; it has been roped in place by the people who own the shoreline, and thus far, I've been unable to make contact with them. I rather imagine this has occurred before, and as long as Jack's colonies remain healthy and happy, there should be no shortage of Sundews at Lake St. Clair.
