A turkey vulture pulls a piece of flesh off a dead squirrel.
It may only be Monday, but this is the best nature photo you'll see all week. Here we have a turkey vulture doing what turkey vultures do ... acting as nature's cleanup crew. They lack a killer instinct and almost exclusively eat things that are already dead.

Happy National Weed Appreciation Day! And no, we're not talking about Cheech and Chong's preferred weed. Did you know that not all weeds are bad? For example, the dandelion can help your lawn, because their wide root systems help loosen hard soil, which helps aerate the ground and improve drainage.

Happy first day of spring in Northern Illinois! We've entered that time of year where you can be driving to work with snow falling and your heat blasting, and on the way home you'll be driving home with the A/C blasting.

Today's warm weather means one thing: SNAKES WILL BE OUT AND ABOUT.
You may see them crossing trails, slithering through grass, or hanging out in the trees and bushes at eye level. A warm, sunny March day is perfect for them to find a sunny spot and bask in it.

Fluctuations in temperatures aren't a problem. They'll once again enter their frozen state and can repeat this freeze-and-thaw cycle many times over the winter.
That glycerol allows woolly bear caterpillars to survive even the most extreme winter weather conditions. They freeze but don't freeze to death.
Once temperatures rise like we have had, they thaw out and go about their business. But what happens if temperatures dip again?
With warmer weather this week, you've likely been seeing woolly bear caterpillars out soaking up the sun. This winter with frigid temps, they've been surviving in a nearly frozen solid state. The caterpillars slowly freeze, but they produce glycerol that prevents their inner cells from freezing.

Hey deer, you're supposed to pose for the #trailcam, not lick it.
There is an ice storm coming. But before you go full Salt Bae on your driveway and sidewalks, remember that using more salt won't yield better results. If you see salt left on the ground after the snow and ice clears, you are using too much. #weather #icestorm #saltbae #salty
