Nature Notes: Bullheads (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some of our teenage friends back in the day would head to the creek to intentionally catch fish that were only five inches or less long. They were not fishing. They were after bullheads, small bottom-dwelling fish to sell as bait to fishermen who were after big fish such as lake trout. Unlock the rest of the article with a new subscription.

Nature Notes: Bobolink (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the more sought-after birds for those bird enthusiasts who are building their annual Teton Valley bird list is the Bobolink. Bobolinks are not common here in the valley but are reliable nesters in extensive damp meadows and grasslands with dense growth of grass and weeds and a few low bushes. Male Bobolinks are distinctive during the breeding season, with black underparts, a white back, and a straw-colored patch on the back of their heads, a tuxedo worn backwards. This attractive attire c
Nature Notes: What about the earwigs? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Kelly and I were young, we were avid hunters. As kids, I must admit, we were not kind to nature.

Last week we noted that the so-called balance of nature is in fact a precarious misnomer when we consider all the factors that species face, some obvious such as food availability, and others simply random, even chaotic. As examples, two bird species, the Dusky Seaside Sparrow of Florida and the KauaÊ»i Ê»ÅÊ»Å, a Hawaiian honeyeater, took their final steps to extinction because, by random chance, all the surviving individuals were males. Our wildlife populations are not yet in such dire circum
Nature Notes: Parry's Primrose (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mary Mullaney recently shared images of one of our favorites. This alpine beauty, Parryâs Primrose, would not look out of place in a carefully tended garden. Its lush leaves and rich magenta blossoms with yellow throats come as a surprise when found in remote, rugged settings high in the Tetons. The secret is the maximum depth of winer snow where these plants thrive, 13 to 18 feet. The moisture-loving Parryâs Primrose is most often found on lee slopes where winterâs snowdrifts ensure water
