by nielskunze on July 19, 2013

The Daily Forest Report July 17, 2013 Little Treasures
by nielskunze on July 17, 2013
Overgeneralizing is the basis for prejudice. “Saskatoon berries suck!” I’ve heard it many times. I’ve also heard (sometimes from my own mouth) that “Saskatoon berries are awesome!” As it turns out, both statements are perfectly correct… and no, it’s not (…)

by nielskunze on July 16, 2013

by nielskunze on July 12, 2013
First, allow me to report that Vulture was still active in the area for a third day. We met up down by the river, where we mutually cleansed and refreshed ourselves. Their work was nearly complete. (For some reason they (…)

by nielskunze on July 11, 2013
“We’re still pickin’ at the bones,” explained Richard. “We don’t want the New Vision to stink of carrion, do we?” Well, certainly not! I had met Richard Sebastian, a buzzard with a toe bearing the uncanny resemblance to Gautama the (…)

by nielskunze on July 10, 2013
Oh look, an eagle, I thought delightedly. Eagle medicine is always a good way to start the day… And then… Look! Another one– that’s twice as good! They’re such graceful masters of the sky… When the third one, and eventually (…)

by nielskunze on July 9, 2013
Don’t they look scrumptious? Especially the bright shiny ones on the left? Yeah, well… not so much. I’d honestly forgotten how horrible Buffalo Berries are. I had to try one… again… ’cause that’s just the kind of guy I am. (…)
