Observing Nature

White Bison are extremely rare. This is the only one that I've ever seen. It looks more red/brown in this video because it had been rolling in the red clay soil.

I've only seen Golden Rainbow Trout one time in my life, and this was the time. They are all descendants of one trout that had this genetic mutation. The unfortunate thing about them is that predators can easily see them. For that reason, they are pretty much just a novelty fish.

On a trip to Branson Missouri, we visited the butterfly palace. Along with all of the beautiful butterflies, there was live hammered dulcimer music.

Killdeer lay their eggs on the ground, so I'm always kind of amazed that they are even able to raise any chicks. This adult Killdeer had two chicks with it. One was out in the open, and the other was trying to hide under her.

Springtails are tiny insects that eat decaying plant matter. They are so tiny that you could have thousands of them and not even know it. I usually only notice them when they are floating in water. They can sometimes be seen on top of snow. That is how they got the nickname....snow flea.
