In fall, we sing. 🎶
Great horned owls vocalize throughout the fall and winter months to establish territory and find a mate. While they can make an array of sounds, their most famous call is their hoot (which sounds like the quintessential owl hoot).
If you are very lucky these upcoming months, you may even hear two owls calling to each other!

Nebraska: A flyover state? Not for monarchs! 🦋
Each fall, monarch butterflies travel more than 3,000 miles as they migrate from Canada to Mexico. This epic journey requires a variety of nectar-producing plants and energy sources, but it is threatened by habitat loss throughout the travel corridor, including Nebraska. We can help monarchs safely make their journey to Mexico with monarch gardens!
Monarch gardening is easy. Plant pollinator-friendly plants like milkweed and other native plants in your flowerpots, gardens and other available spaces. Be sure to include a variety of nectar-producing plants that bloom throughout the summer and fall to sustain monarchs on their journey.
Find tips for monarch gardening and a list of pollinator-friendly plants here: brnw.ch/21wMwGB.

Milkweed is best known for the role it plays in the life cycle of the monarch butterfly, especially during the spring and summer when the plant is in bloom. As the temperatures drop, the plant produces spiky pods that protect many small seeds.
When the pod is ready to disperse, it splits down the middle. Feathery white “floss” helps the seeds to catch the wind and travel to new locations to germinate.
