Greenbrier/Carrionflower collaboration outing 2018
Interesting day today meeting up with Janet Wright (janetwright) of the iNaturalist community who happened to be passed through the area. I had fun spending the day out doing something instead of being alone at home. I did appreciate the further opportunity to photography and explore more of the Starved Rock Area.
A shout out to Janet who gave me the excuse to be in the area at and around Illinois Canyon. If she had not accepted my help in finding some greenbriers I would not have had the observations today that I did. I hope to post the observations soon and attach some to this entry.
Some species today included:
Unusual/rare: Skipjack shad, round goby
Other: Bristly Greenbrier, carrionflowers, bloodroot, American white pelican, bluegill, green sunfish, waterleaf, raccoon, spiderwort, northern watersnake, false soloman's seal, mayapple
