WATER GARDENING Arrowhead. Shropshire

Botanical Society

Prepare to be amazed at the vast opportunities to select from a myriad of water-related features that will
attract birds to your back yard. Deb Spencer, co-owner with Susan Davis of Water’s Edge in Lawrence, will be
our June program speaker. Deb will share tips on adding water features to your landscape to enhance its value for
a variety of wildlife species. As a testimony to Deb and Susan’s ingenuity and creativity, their operation is
celebrating its 19th anniversary this year.
In addition to our regular program at 7:30 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church, Deb will offer JAS members a
guided tour of some of the options available to gardeners at Water’s Edge at 5:00 p.m. This will provide you with
the chance to view in person plants that can be used in and around smaller water features that require less space
and less maintenance than a traditional pond. Exciting benefits are possible: “Creating a wildlife garden can
evolve unsuspectingly. Often it happens after the installation of the first water garden. Suddenly dragonflies and
birds never seen before appear in the garden.” (Helen Nash, Water Features for Every Garden)
-Joyce Wolf
Water’s Edge Plant Tour: 5:00 p.m. At the store: 847 Indiana Street, Lawrence.
Dinner with Deb: BYO. 6:00 p.m. at India Palace. 129 East 10th Street, downtown Lawrence.
Program: 7:30 p.m. Trinity Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall. 1245 New Hampshire. Park
in the lot east of the church. Refreshments will be served.

In the event of rain, the tour will be cancelled. The dinner and program will go on.
All programs of the Jayhawk Audubon Society are free and open to the public

Prairie Wildflower Walks
June is a peak time for prairie beauty. The Kansas Native Plant Society sponsors many prairie forays throughout the state all
summer and fall: see www.kansasnativeplantsociety.org for a calendar. Even if you can’t make the event, you can get directions
to the site and make a trip sometime on your own. You might not learn botanical names that way but you can still bask in the open
skies and ground-level intricacy and richness of the prairie web of life. The Coblentz and Grant-Bradbury prairies are on the list and
are nearby and don’t forget the Konza. Find directions and info on the Konza at www.naturalkansas.org. The Kansas Land Trust
allows “respectful daytime access” to its Akin Prairie. Contact them at 785-749-3297 for directions. Topeka Audubon is sponsor-
ing a June 21st trip to the Tall Grass Prairie National Preserve to see birds and plants. Call Dan Gish: 785-232-3731 for details.

So dig out your walking shoes, leave behind all discouraging words and ramble “where the skies are not cloudy all day.”

ZEBRA MUSSEL ALERT
Zebra mussels are now infesting Perry Lake as well as El
Dorado & Cheney Reservoirs., Winfield City Lake & the Walnut
River. They are incredibly damaging, attaching to surfaces by
the millions in layers up to 6 inches deep, clogging water intakes
& boat motors, cutting swimmers’ feet, smothering native mus-
sels and depleting fishes’ food! Remediation efforts are very
costly and not very effective. PREVENTION IS KEY. It is
up to ALL who use Kansas rivers and lakes to stop the spread.
Zebra mussel larvae are microscopic and free floating so they
can easily & unknowingly be transported. IT IS ILLEGAL to
import or release Zebra mussels in Kansas.
HERE’S HOW TO BREAK THE CHAIN:
• Never move fish, bait or water from one body of
water to another.
• Empty bait buckets on dry land, not in the water.
• Drain water from bilges and live wells and inspect them
and trailers, skis, anchors and remove visible
vegetation and organisms.
Let all equipment dry for 5 days before entering another
waterway. OR wash with 10% chlorine and water
solution or 104 degree water or hot salt water. Rinse
with clean water. DO NOT wash on boat ramps.
Contact KDWP at 620-342-0658 if you see Zebra mussels
in a lake or river other than the five listed above.
Birdathon 2008 Report
The weather on Birdathon weekend, May 3 & 4, was drier
than last year, which was a plus for humans seeking birds, but
also very windy which may have kept some birds in shelter and
harder to see. Of course the chance nature of what you might
all just head for the zoo! In fact this year Birdathoners found 2
Black-bellied Whistling-Ducks at Baker/Haskell Wetlands, a
bird new to the Douglas Cty checklist! See full list on page 3.
This year’s birders were Black-bellied Whistling-Duck.

New Plumage on Display
After you return from your prairie excursion (p. 1), and,
very important, shower off any bloodsucking hitch-hikers,
relax by checking out the new look of the JAS website:
www.jayhawkaudubon.org. KU student Kim Le volunteered
her expertise to redesign and update it and it is much easier to
navigate.
You will particularly notice the incredibly beautiful and
evocative banner depicting the Wetlands. Lisa Grossman
donated her artwork and Dena Friesen donated her design
talents to produce the banner, and their collaboration has
produced an image that opens mental vistas and creates a
sense of possibilities. It should draw people to JAS. Karyn
Baker-Riney has volunteered to continue the big job of
maintaining the website. Kudos to these volunteers for their
generosity & skillful work!

SUMMER READING FOR KIDS By Barbara Watkins

As summer approaches, the following list of books on nature topics, compiled with the help of Kelly Barth at the Raven Book-
store in Lawrence, may be helpful: Julie Angier-Clark’s Touch and Feel Farm Animals, Hyperion Books for Children (9 months and
older); Rufus Butler Seder’s Gallop!, Workman Publishing, uses photo animated technology to bring animals to life; and Lois
Ehlert’s Planting a Rainbow, Harcourt (Red Wagon Books) features colors, plants and seasons to teach about growing a garden.
Jean Craighead George’s My Side of the Mountain, Dutton, is a fabulous tale of an intelligent, eccentric boy who
runs away from home to try to live off the land and survive the winter in a hollow tree in the Catskills. Also excellent
is her book Who Really Killed Cock Robin: an Ecological Mystery, Dutton, (for ages 8-10) that takes a group of
children through the process of discovering that excessive pesticide use has killed the robins in their neighborhood.
George Sheldon’s Tucker’s Countryside, Random House, and other books in this series are rewarding books about
animals and humans living in connection in both the city and the countryside. All of the children's books by Thornton
W. Burgess, published by Dover, are wonderfully classic nature stories for younger readers.
City Hawk: The Story of Pale Male, by Meghan McCarthy is a fine book. For every purchase of this book for four-
to-seven-year-olds, Simon & Schuster, the publisher, will make a donation to the New York City Audubon chapter.
Owen & Mzee, Barnes & Noble, tells the story of the now famous hippo orphaned by the 2003 tsunami and
“adopted" by a 130-year-old giant tortoise at the wildlife sanctuary where he was taken in. Illustrated by actual
Red-tailed hawk.
N. John Schmitt photographs of the two friends, the book was written by six-year-old Isabella Hatkoff and her publisher father Craig.
The sequel, Owen & Mzee: the Language of Friendship, is equally compelling.
The Henry series (Henry Hikes to Fitchburg, Henry Builds a Cabin, Henry Climbs a Mountain, and
Henry Works) by D.B. Johnson, published by Houghton Mifflin, are fabulous retellings of tales from
Thoreau's Walden. In this case, Henry is a rotund, gentle-looking bear. These are great picture books for
early readers. And remember to take your little ones outside when you read to them.

Editor’s Note: Don’t miss out: “Catch the Reading Bug” is the theme of this year’s Summer Reading
Program at the Lawrence Public Library. There are many special programs such as puppet shows and
musicians scheduled and children are encouraged to read a certain number of books over the summer.

June Is Busting Out All Over (Finally!)
After a long winter and delayed spring, it seemed things would never catch up with seasonal norms.
Redbuds that in recent years were done blooming in mid-April still lingered in mid-May. But according to
my records, the phenology of blooming wildflowers is catching up, closing in on those mythical averages,
which, for Kansas, are based on a huge range of year-to-year variability anyway. After a seemingly steady
march of earlier and earlier springs in recent years, I find some comfort in a spring that can be called “late!”
What will June bring: a continued “catching up” or further cooling delays? Here are weekly “phenological”
summaries from my book, so you can go out and decide for yourselves. Enjoy, but don’t make your forays
into nature too memorable–there are still plenty of ticks in the woods and chiggers in the grass–use sulfur pow-
der or bug repellent, tuck your pants into your socks and shower and inspect immediately after your walks.
June 1-7: June’s Busting Milkweeds
Please do visit a native prairie and smell the flowers. Prairie roses, coneflowers, daisies, wild strawberries, primroses and light-
ning bugs await you, so grab a friend and check out Prairie Park Nature Center or other native prairies in the area. (See page one for
some information on finding local prairies). Antelope horn milkweeds lay low to the ground and are making seedpods. Common
milkweeds are beginning to bloom. The tall ferny plant with white flower clusters and purple mottled stems is poison hemlock.
Socrates died from a concoction made from this plant.
A daytime stroll in a meadow will reveal white blobs of small bubbles on the grass stems from the spittle bug, found deep within
the foam. This is a great time of year to go out and catch lightning bugs as well. A field after dark can be a glittering spectacle.
Dogwoods are the 4-to-6 foot tall shrubs continuing to put out 4-to-6 inch white clusters of flowers along the roadsides. Their twigs
make great toothpicks: Chew them into soft-tipped bristles to massage your gums.
June 8-14: Wild Berry Season
Check out a local pond in the evening not only to fish but to watch lightning bugs and hear the "jug-o-rum" call of the bullfrog.
Mosquitoes, too! Bright red tops of butterfly milkweed are typically dotting area prairies and roadsides, along with purple prairie
clover, and a profusion of other prairie natives. Elderberry bushes are beginning to show big white blossom clusters. The berries that
develop are loved by humans and wildlife alike. Many mulberry trees are now covered with edible berries. The butterfly that loves
their juices is the hackberry butterfly. If you know of any wild raspberry patches, now is the time to start checking their ripeness.
Birds are incredibly busy this time of year feeding newly hatched chicks. Find a patch of trees near an open field and watch the
hubbub unfold. You may see smaller birds attacking larger hawks, vultures and even herons if they get too close.
Chicory
June 15-21: Chicory and Nighthawks
Blackberries, dewberries and currants are ripening. Wild strawberries are gone, but it is too early for goose-
berries. Find time to sit under a cottonwood and listen to the wind through the "talking leaves." Chicory is the
almost leafless 1-to-2 foot tall plant with little blue flowers found along the edge of many roads now; roast the
cleaned roots to make a caffeine-free coffee substitute.

An after-dark pastime is watching nighthawks. Every well-lit section of town draws them, with their distinctive "pee-ow" call,
fluttering flight, and dramatic, buzzing dives as they catch bugs in mid-flight. Nightjars (Whip-poor-will, Nighthawk, Chuck-will’s-
widow) all feed by sight and are most active at dusk and on moon-lit nights. Bill Busby, naturalist at Ks Biological Survey, says that
whip-poor-wills and chucks even time reproduction so the full moon coincides with demands of feeding actively growing young. In
contrast, bats are most active on moonless nights as they do not rely on vision & are more vulnerable to owls under a bright moon.
June 22-30: Summertime
This part of Earth celebrates the summer solstice with tree frogs, deer growing felt-covered antlers, dragonflies eating mosquitoes
& heat lightning. Summer solstice, literally meaning “sun stops”, is when the sun reaches its northernmost path in our sky and be-
gins its slow trip southward again. Sunrise and sunset happen at virtually the same time all week long. Days slowly begin to shorten.
At sunset or sunrise, find a place to go out and count the different types of animals; you’ll be amazed. Keep a
special watch for blue heron, bats, bobcats, and red or gray foxes. Take a slow drive on a country road after dark,
and chances are good you’ll see snakes, toads, and frogs as well as an assortment of mammals trying to cross.
What are the orange flowers on the roadsides? If it’s a vine, then it's trumpet vine, a beautiful but aggressive
imported plant that hummingbirds love. What's the orange roadside flower that's not a vine? Day lilies. The grassy leaves and beau-
tiful orange flowers of this sometimes naturalized ornamental often mark old homesteads long after the houses have been torn down.
Sumac is forming its reddish, milo-like seedheads. Suck on a sumac seed. It tastes like a sweet tart and is packed with vitamin C.

Last Child in the Woods:

Saving Our Children from Nature-deficit Disorder
By Richard Louv

Reviewed by Barbara Watkins

While flying in early May to the Southeast to visit my son and his family in
their new home in Bluefield, West Virginia, I read the expanded version of
Richard Louv’s Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-deficit
Disorder (Algonquin, 2008, bpk.). Louv’s book, which won the 2008 Audubon
Medal, was timely reading for me since we planned to take my one-year-old
grandson, Nicholas, on his first hike in the woods and to plant his first garden.
Our hike on the Appalachian Trail and cooperative gardening were particularly
meaningful for me because I had taken a year off from these favorite activities to
deal with cancer surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
Louv builds on the philosophy of Rachel Carson’s classic book Sense of Wonder.
As Carson says, “If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder . . . he needs
the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him
the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.” My grandson is lucky
in that he has several committed adults who love to share these outdoor adventures.
Barbara, her son, and grandson Nicholas

Last Child in the Woods has helped start a grassroots movement to reconnect children with nature. Louv grew up in the Kansas
City area, and he integrates sessions with parents, teachers & senior citizens here talking about their childhood experiences in nature
with what we can do to help assure that our children and grandchildren can share these adventures. In his book, Louv draws on
many resources—the experiences of his own family, friends and neighbors, diverse scholars, as well as visionary green projects in
schools, communities, churches and organizations in Europe & across the US. The nature-deficit problem that Louv addresses is
succinctly described by a fourth grader in San Diego, “I like to play indoors better ‘cause that is where all the electrical outlets are.”
This was not an issue for past generations, as those of us who are grandparents know well, because we grew up in an era without
air-conditioning and television. We were just naturally outdoors all the time. Until it grew dark we played hide-and-seek, freeze-
tag, kick-the-can or hope-to-see-a-ghost-tonight. We experimented, as one of Louv’s contributors did, by filling a jar with lightning
bugs and bringing it in to light up our darkened bedroom. Many of us had farm family relatives. We built tree houses--now illegal
in some places without building permits!--and dammed streams to make ponds.
Today, many distractions keep children indoors, and the amount of natural space has been significantly diminished by
suburban sprawl. What outdoor time children have is often consumed by organized, competitive sports. Louv documents
how this lack of outdoor activity has contributed to children’s increased stress and heightened obesity statistics also because
many parents do not allow their children to bike or walk to school for fear of traffic, crime and strangers. As one Kansas
father commented “I want to know where my kids are 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

What do we need to do to make sure that youngsters have opportunities to experience the “meadow memories”
that we treasure from our own childhood? The key is making time. Louv offers many excellent suggestions of
activities to share with children and grandchildren: hiking (how about taking a family walk while the moon is
full?), camping, visiting national parks, fishing, birding, nature watching, reading outside, keeping nature
journals, gardening (not just vegetables and flowers, but also planting butterfly or native plant gardens), setting
up bird feeders and baths, and harvesting at U-pick farms.

This expanded edition of Last Child in the Woods includes a useful field guide,
discussion questions, an updated reading list and practical actions to help promote
change in our schools, families, communities and government.
