Nature Nut: Aspens put on an autumn show - The Interior News - Smithers BC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 5:30 am Thursday, October 1, 2026 Fall is here. As I write this on September 22, it is cooler and gloomier than the wonderful clear blue sky, warm days we have been enjoying during the past two weeks. I just love those sunny and warm September summer days and all the colours of the trees and shrubs that come along with them. I noticed some beautiful fall colours, especially on the shrubs growing on south and southwest facing slopes between Smithers and Telkwa yesterday. Some of the asp
Nature Nut: Vole infestation bad for veggies, good for raptors - The Interior News - Smithers BC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 5:30 am Thursday, September 10, 2026 A frequent topic of conversation this summer: What’s eating your vegetable plants and identifying the culprits. Young plants were often destroyed early in the growing season, sometimes with the entire growing point removed. Cauliflowers seem to have been a favourite, but other brassicas also had chewed leaves. The culprits? Although rarely, if ever, caught in the act, the abundance of voles this year suggests they were the problem. We frequently see
Nature Nut: Bumblebees signal pleasure with their tongues - The Interior News - Smithers BC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 5:30 am Thursday, September 3, 2026 Did you know that bumblebees stick their tongues out if they have tasted something that they like? I have watched bumblebees flying from one flower to another with their conspicuous tongues stuck out in front (although I noticed this more at the beginning of the flowering season, than later in the summer). A recent experiment done at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia involved watching buff-tailed bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) closely to see
Nature Nut: In search of red-stem ceanothus - The Interior News - Smithers BC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 5:30 pm Thursday, August 27, 2026 Last week, Jim and I drove out to the Telkwa Microwave Road in search of the locally rare shrub Ceanothus sanguineus (red-stem ceanothus) that we had found there many years ago. Back when we first found it, the shrubs were in flower and growing on a south-facing slope that had been recently logged and then re-planted with mostly pine. The pine trees were still very small, so they did not overtop the large ceanothus bushes. Ceanothus typically likes mes
Hummingbirds begin their southward migration - The Interior News - Smithers BC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Published 4:06 pm Thursday, August 6, 2026 It’s Aug. 4, and I am slowly but regretfully getting used to the lack of birds and birdsong on our property. There are still some birds, but many have stopped singing, and some are no longer around. We filled the hummingbird feeder last Thursday, but the rufous and Calliope hummingbirds are not coming to feed. I saw only one immature rufous hummingbird in my perennial garden two days ago, even though it is full of beautiful flowers. It is sad, but it is
