FUN FACT!

Of Birds...
The Blackpoll warbler (Dendroica striata) passes through Ohio in May on its trip northward after spending the winter in South America. Other wood warblers log long migrations as well, but the blackpoll is the endurance migratory champ among these tiny birds. Weighing in at ½ oz. and only 5 inches long from bill to tail, this bird clocks in a round trip of a little over 12,000 miles! Approximately 85 hours of that trip is non-stop over the Atlantic!. 

...and Bunnies!
Eastern cottontail females (Sylvilagus) spend only about five minutes per day nursing young. Rabbit moms feed the babies very early in the morning and in the evening, and they will not approach the nest if a predator (you) is nearby. Please don’t move them. They are not orphaned!
