The marshy areas by Brownsville are filled with arrowhead, wild celery and sago pondweed - plants with small potato-like tubers for roots that the swans can reach from the bottom mud with their long necks. Those nutritious tubers will power their trip to Chesapeake Bay.
This recipe had me at Lyle's Golden Syrup.... yummy and I'm certain nutritious it's a favorite winter bread for me. Recipe from Saveur Mag
These apples was a surprise to me as I have never seen them before, or may have seen it and not realised they are apples!
Elands have experienced population decline due to hunting:
Their rich milk, tasty meat, and useful hides have made them popular ranch animals and hunting targets. Their meat is highly prized, especially by illegal hunters, because each animal provides a large quantity of meat.
The world’s largest antelope is becoming widely domesticated due to their high yield of nutritious ‘long life’ antibacterial milk — which also has much higher protein content and milk fat than cow’s milk — in Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Kenya.
They are an important part of the Kenyan culture, where they bleed the animals with a sharp dart and drink the blood.
Human and livestock expansion destroy Eland habitats:
As human populations are growing and expanding settlements and agriculture, they are encroaching on Eland's living spaces and destroying habitats and food sources.
They have been eliminated from more than 50 percent of their historic range due to human encroachment, and since the 1970s, their population decreased dramatically because of civil wars and its aftermath in countries such as Uganda, Rwanda, Angola, and Mozambique.

This one has been hanging around for a while, from the old 2008 archives. I’m renting the title from the Culinary Fool she has the tasty version.
When I fill the mealworm feeder lots of birds show up to enjoy these tasty and nutritious treats.
They line up in the surrounding trees, bushes and on posts, waiting their turn at the mealworm feeder, like this sweet Eastern Bluebird who was ever so patient!
It´s hunting season now, so:
Red deer meat patties with Chantrelle sauce, boiled potatoes and greens.
Great stuff:
Red deer is a nutritious meat that is lean and protein-rich, high in essential B vitamins and minerals like iron and zinc.
It has a higher content of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids in its fat compared to domestic cattle meat.
And is actually easier to make patties or meatballs of it.
Smoother texture and, less fat.
The Steenbok inhabits open savannah country where they are reliant on adequate cover in the form of taller grass and clumps of bushes. Absent or rarely seen in forests, mountains, dense woodlands and rocky areas. At times they take refuge in ant-bear holes, and uses these to bear their young.
They have a rufous brown to fawn coat with long, broad ears. Measures 520mm at the shoulders and weigh about 11 Kg. Hind quarters and underparts are pure white. Only rams have upright, slender horns projecting above the eyes. Conspicuous black, facial glands are situated in front of the large, dark brown eyes.
This fleet footed antelope is exclusively a browser, and shows a preference for forbs. It is generally highly selective for green material such as young leaves, flowers, fruits and shoot tips of various plants. The ability to exist independently of free water is related to its selective browsing habits. Roots, tubers and bulbs are taken during dry months by raking the ground, and even digging shoulder-deep, to reach these nutritious food supplies which are high in moisture content.
Anatomy of rot … this little dresser gradually disintegrated from the water dripping on it. Evidently moss finds the the resulting sludge nutritious.
Mullein, sprouting in a sidewalk crack--together with purslane, another old friend!! (and a bit of oxalis). So pleasant to see these old familiars. . . . . . here in California. They are not so common here as in other parts of the country--by my experience. Both are imports to the New World from the Old, carried here accidentally by the first settlers.. I love the red stems of the very edible purslane. Highly nutritious!
American Goldfinch [Spinus tristes] on a sunflower.
I’ve been trying to get a shot of one of these wee beauties, for years...Usually, when I see one, it’s high up on the top of a conifer...Here, this wee guy was having a very nutritious lunch of fresh sunflower seeds, in my niece’s garden. (I have about 3m photos of this one...!) Lots of sparrows were also helping themselves to these sunflower seeds.

Sitting atop their feeder and source of sucrose to fuel their HIGH energy lives hatchlings also depend on a nicely regurgitated bug breakfast.
Hummers will eat some several dozen insects during a normal day, from mosquitoes even up to small bees, but when preggers they will catch and pass on many more bug remains per day -- gotta get that protein, vitamins and minerals somewhere, just like all children....
Mom will hold it in her throat and roughly squirt into her little bundles of joy -- sort of reminds one of CPR as she JAMS it on in there......
I love apples! I eat one for lunch every day. :)
Two weeks into my fifth 365 (366) project and I'm second guessing my idea to switch cropping methods. Maybe I just did the square crop for too long now nothing looks right to me. It could just be the ratio I've chosen (8x10). I think maybe next month I'll switch it up and try 11 x 17 and see how that feels.
Baby red squirrel eating cashews. Later I switched to more nutritious commercial rodent chow. Look at the claws on this little guy!
This lovely member of the Lily family was extensively foraged for its nutritious bulbs. The cerulean blue is a sure sign of spring in the PNW.
Delicious nutritious fruit, the only health hazards involved are in the picking of it. Never attempt to pick green fruit...never!
You can see the lick spots on his side. He has to be getting real bad Hair balls. I found out yesterday I have not been feeding them correctly. Corn by itself is not nutritious enough for them. I have updated the feed locker to include a feed called "Dry Cob". It is corn, barley and oats mix.
The bumblebee has just woken up on its big yellow bed and is ready for a nutritious yellow breakfast.
I rarely if ever do food photography, but after cutting a Hass avocado in half to use in a sandwich, I was inspired to image it as a basic still live. Avocados make great subjects.
Senior goat Chester is given a bowl of moistened timothy pellets, a type of nutritious grass. The other goats get very jealous.

Food Month Continues! This highly nutritious morning meal is for my friend Barb's new group, A Month of Mornings, which celebrates healthier eating of the most important meal of the day. Stop by, join in and have a bite.
Fruit Loops and a Brown Sugar & Cinnamon Pop-Tart: Only the finest breakfast combo since green eggs & ham, I ate this nearly every morning in high school & college. And yes, I was usually sound asleep at my desk an hour later when the sugar crash hit. Zzzzzzzzzz.
I see you wanting my Toucan Sam bowl

This raptor is perched directly above a deer carcass he has been dominating...As winter deepens, Bald Eagles will congregate on road killed deer carcasses, and why not, its fresh venison, the wolves won't approach the kills in daylight and drive off the Eagles and Ravens. The only real competition for the highly nutritious venison are other Eagles, including Golden Eagles, and Ravens...
Perhaps not one of your favourite weeds to see. In each metamorphic stage it's very photographic.
They are edible and nutritious. Every part of this common edible weed is tasty both raw and cooked. If raw dandelion leaves don't appeal to you, they can also be steamed or added to a stir-fry or soup, which can make them taste less bitter. The flowers are sweet and crunchy, and can be eaten raw, or breaded and fried, or even used to make dandelion syrup or wine. The root of the dandelion can be dried and roasted and used as a coffee substitute, or added to any recipe that calls for root vegetables.

We used to breed canaries and, at the breeding season, give them some "egg and biscuit" supplement, a nutritious mix for healthy baby birds and they loved it. So, when I prepare veal schnitzels for us and there is some leftover egg & breadcrumbs, I place it on the shed roof to make wild birds happy and healthy. Today, it attracted Valentino the Kookaburra (I didn't know he liked that !), Arthur the Noisy Miner, Pete the Pied Currawong and Maggie the Magpie :)

Judging by the expression on his face, this jaunty fellow is having a good day...
... or he could be having a good chew on the nutritious grasses that grow in this life-giving pan in Hwange where he hangs out most days.
