MORNING HAZE OVER THE ISLANDS
PRAIRIE PLANT LANDSCAPE
FOREST SERVICE OFFICE IN WASHBURNTuesday, 7:30 AM. 65 degrees, wind W, calm. It is mostly overcast, there is some haze over the islands and the barometer predicts partly cloudy skies.
The Forest Service office in Washburn is very effectively landscaped with native prairie plants. It is at its height of summer color now with Monarda (pink) and brown eyed Susan, cone flowers and sunflowers (all yellow) in bloom. Phlox and goldenrods will soon follow. Indian grass and bluestems also are in full flower. It will be just as attractive in its fall coloration.
The Larsen camp suffered a bear depredation a few nights ago when their resident bruin got into a food locker and drank a 12-pack of Coke. He didn’t use the pull tabs. The space between his incisor’s, as evidenced by the puncture marks in the cans, is rather impressive.
