Molothrus ater is a clever mimic and copies not only the calls of other birds but of other animals as well. I have heard them voice the whinny of a horse, an odd sound indeed to be coming from thirty feet up a Douglas fir tree!
365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!
