Belted kingfisher. Fun fact, females have a reddish belly band and the males do not. One of the rare instances where the female bird is the flashier one.

Grape

Beware, there are MANY species of wild grape in North America. You won't necessarily be able to replicate what I'm doing here! The species that grows most abundantly here has tiny black grapes the size of peas. They have absolutely no sugar in them; each one is a burst of Pure Cheek-puckering Sourness.

The vines grow up in trees in the forest and snarl themselves around fences, unattended buildings, and shrubs. If you're willing to sweeten the grapes a lot, they have an amazing flavor.

K and I used a stepladder and a little braveness/foolhardiness to acquire a big bag of these yesterday. They'll keep in the fridge 'til she gets back next weekend, and then we can make grape juice.

The wonderful Wildgrape vine.. Look at it, it comes together with the human made fence and uses it as a support to grow big and stout! The fruits can be very tart, but very edible!

My super secret grape spot is slowwwwly turning purple 🍇

These here are fox grapes, aka frost grapes because after the first frost they get very sweet – before that they’re pretty tart.

But like most other wild fruits, you GOTTA taste them before picking them. Sometimes they taste like the most delightful grape jelly of your life. Sometimes they’re acidic as hell. Other times they’re just okay.

But honestly – i haven’t met any wild grape that doesn’t make an awesome jam, jelly, or syrup. It just depends on if you want to eat them fresh!
