Some info on flowering dogwood trees
www.natureconservancy.ca/en/what-we-do/resource-centre/fe...
Flowering dogwood is well known for its four large, symmetrical, flower-like white leaves that surround a cluster of tiny yellow flowers. In the fall, it has bright red berries that grow in clusters.
More than 50 species of birds feed on the berries of flowering dogwood in the Backus Woods of Ontario alone. The flowers are visited by many pollinating insects. This makes flowering dogwood a very important tree for wildlife.
As an understory tree, flowering dogwood provides cover for many forest animals, and also protects species at forest edges.
Flowering dogwood is currently listed as endangered in Ontario and Canada.
In Canada, flowering dogwood only occurs in extreme southwestern Ontario in the Carolinian forest region

James [The Entrepreneur] finds a perch high atop a sandstone outcrop to shoot into the group. James is a cool guy. He is ready for any challenge, seems to have limitless energy and enthusiasm and is the bringer of beer.
James is always invited to every trip.

The Nachusa Grasslands is a nature conservancy consisting of 3100 acres.Its mission is to preserve the area as a praire.This year they introduced a herd of buffalo,which can(sometimes!) be seen just north of this location.More on the area here:

It's amazing how the rocks are formed into such complex and unique shapes. This reminds me of an outstretched hand...

I finally got a photo of a Chickadee yay! These are tough little birds and I have always had them in my yard but was never able to capture a shot of any. I got this one at a nearby park.

Orange Milkwort (Polygala lutea) is one of my favorite wildflower species to encounter in the Southeastern Coastal Plain. The flowers are sometimes called "Bog Cheetos".

Came across these neat seed pods off the road .They are from the plant/ flower called "Velvetleaf" . One plant can produce up to 17,000 seeds and those seeds can remain dormant up to 50 years in the soil.
Spent flowers and seed pods look so neat in winter.
American Bitterns aren't that rare. But finding one in a completely open setting is a rarity for me. The Cornell Lab says: " You'll need sharp eyes to catch sight of an American Bittern. This streaky, brown and buff heron can materialize among the reeds, and disappear as quickly, especially when striking a concealment pose with neck stretched and bill pointed skyward. These stealthy carnivores stand motionless amid tall marsh vegetation, or patiently stalk fish, frogs, and insects. They are at their most noticeable in spring, when the marshes resound with their odd booming calls that sounds like the gulps of a thirsty giant."
We found this one at The Nature Conservancy's Cheyenne Bottoms Preserve in Kansas.
