update: if you're in the florida area and you see a large, unidentifiable primate-esque shape, that's probably a skunk ape. now, if you see something eating a skunk ape, that one is mine

Happy Tree Tuesday!

Trees are homes for all kinds of birds, and this illustration shows a heronry, also known as a heron rookery. Heronries are large nesting sites for dozens of herons. This forest in particular was estimated to host between 200 to 400 nesting pairs of grey herons (Ardea cinerea) at the time of the photograph!

SciArt by John Gerrard Keulemans entitled "Heronry in Great Sowden Wood, Sussex", which he based on a photograph taken 18 August 1877, and completed for Ornithological Miscellany, Vol. 3 (1878), edited by George Dawson Rowley.

tree tuesday #1 hello and welcome to the first tree tuesday. i have learned a lot of fun facts about trees from writing evan hansen, and i have decided to share some of this totally important information that i have learned. these facts are mostly from memory, but i am double checking to make sure the information is correct. enjoy! the english oak tree (quercus robur) is the most common tree in the united kingdom.
