The Brook

I come  from haunts of coot and hern,
I make a sudden sally,
And sparkle out among the fern,
To bicker down a valley.

By thirty hills I hurry down,
Or slip between the ridges,
By twenty thorps, a little town,
And half a hundred bridges.

Till last by Philip's farm I flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.

I chatter over stony ways,
In little sharps and trebles,
I bubble into eddying bays,
I babble on the pebbles.

With many a curve my banks I fret
by many a field and fallow,
And many a fairy foreland set
With willow-weed and mallow.

I chatter, chatter, as I flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.

I wind about, and in and out,
with here a blossom sailing,
And here and there a l***y trout,
And here and there a grayling,

And here and there a foamy flake
Upon me, as I travel
With many a silver water-break
Above the golden gravel,

And draw them all along, and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.

I steal by lawns and grassy plots,
I slide by hazel covers;
I move the sweet forget-me-nots
That grow for happy lovers.

I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance,
Among my skimming swallows;
I make the netted sunbeam dance
Against my sandy shallows.

I murmur under moon and stars
In brambly wildernesses;
I linger by my shingly bars;
I loiter round my cresses;

And out again I curve and flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on forever.

Three carnivorous plants, three listings, one very old scam.

The pitcher plant doesn't secrete its own digestive juices, it drowns it's prey, then lets a tiny ecosystem of bacteria and larvae do the rest.
The sundew's "dew" is glue, and it knows prey is stuck before the prey does.
The bladderwort closes its trap in half a millisecond, 100x faster than a Venus flytrap.

Three plants, one bog, zero mercy.

Monarch caterpillars eat only milkweed. As she strips this common milkweed leaf, she's taking in more than food as the plant's toxic compounds become her own chemical armor, carried with her through chrysalis and into flight.

Hidden inside her are imaginal cells, dormant since hatching, waiting for the chrysalis to activate and build the wings she doesn't have yet.

That future depends on more than this one patch of milkweed. Monarchs travel thousands of miles, and every mile needs habitat, which means every stretch of protected streambank and unmowed floodplain along the way matters, here and far beyond our watershed. Protect one corridor, and you're part of the migration stretching the 2800 miles or so to Mexico.

Nursery. Armor. Launchpad.

There's something about standing and allowing a waterfall to wash away the static. No app, no algorithm, no notification, just water doing what it's done for thousands of years. Flowing. Following it's natural course to the ocean.

Take some time to find a waterfall near you. This one is on Ross Brook in Savoy State Forest.

OK, this is just for fun and we are not pigeonholing any of these animals to these personality traits!

But seriously, who is your favorite watershed animal and what one word would you use to describe them?😉
