Wonderful morning conversation with Kelly Berry, founder and director of The Garden of Wonders. On my way home, I counted 7 wandering gliders cruising down Racine. At the stoplight, a female kept bumping into the hood of a light blue metallic car next to me. Was it depositing eggs? Curry's (2001) observations report this species ovipositing on car hoods, wet concrete and sheets of glass or plastic (p. 15). References Curry, J. R., & Antonio, T. M. (2001, April).

We are in the final stages of identifying our ecological study sites. If all goes well, we will have 25 gardens. The first round of bird surveys was completed today. Stay tuned for a list of birds we've observed in the gardens. |
