lagrac suggested resident “experts” after I identified Sandhill Cranes for him and for Coastiegirl. Actually, if I remember correctly, Marc 5 digits is also a birder with a better life list than mine…and certainly more cemetery caches than we own.
What I wish we had was someone who’s really good with mushroom and fungi identification. Man, there are so many out there this fall and I just know some of them are good to eat! Other than morels, which are spring, I’m not trying them, though.
I know I found a few chanterelles while doing some temps at the picnic, because when I was in Switzerland a couple summers back, my hosts picked some as we hiked down from the mountain tops and I ate those. Yum! But I didn’t pick the ones at Wildcat.
