Love this time of year! Creatures of all kinds are returning and roaming the land. This week I’d like to give props to the fishing bird extreme: The Osprey. Oh and we mustn’t forget the most daring devils of them all: The Mountain Goat. Lest we leave out flora, let’s take time to appreciate the dangly red things popping off on cottonwoods near waterways.
Ospreys have returned to their Montana summer home along the Madison River. Like me, they enjoy heading to Mexico and beyond during the winter months. Spring Mountain Goats. These crazy guys show up on this ledge every April to have babies. EXTREME! Cottonwood catkins. Male trees have these purple danglers, whilst the female ones give off that namesake cottonwood cotton. Apparently the catkins are edible (think tempura!) and are high in good ole’ vitamin C.
