I very much agree with the close relationship between humans and birds is beneficial for both, although there may be some drawbacks. On the other hand, I am familiar with the yellow-flowered asteraceae, it's very similar to Solidago chilensis. Is it cultivated there or is it a similar species?Hernán Tolosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08438533050915843307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-7423238841021288802022-08-22T14:08:24.180-04:002022-08-22T14:08:24.180-04:00A sofa wolf indeed, Traude.

...Yes, if only we would listen, dear David... sigh.<br />Just the way you describe your walk along the Mill Race Trail shows how happy and content being in nature can make. You experience silence, with the right behavior even the closeness and trust of wild animals, some plants and animals are always a feast for the eyes, some you have never seen before and learn something new. There is no better way to spend a day. I've now seen a lot of beautiful things with you, and I'm still amazed at the Giant Mayfly - what a special insect that I didn't know. The Eastern Chipmunk is very cute, so is the dog - I'm not sure if it's a dog who likes to hunt, he looks so harmless like a sofa wolf :-)<br />Happy week and all the best,<br />Traude<br />https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2022/08/mallorca-reisebericht-teil-5-tag-9-bis.htmlRostrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15901976103765887360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-80463776382495270192022-08-22T12:40:45.187-04:002022-08-22T12:40:45.187-04:00hello David
