Lost heart over #videos after my phone died last spring with a lot of unshared content, but #KonzaPrairie inspired me to try again. Here's a very brief look at the #prairie #biodiversity from last week's #hike: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN48... #NativePlants #FlintHills #Kansas #TallGrassPrairie 🌿
An orange, black, and white butterfly on a cluster of tiny yellow flowers in the middle of a wide, grassy prairie with a blue sky overhead.
A very fuzzy and large black and white moth with rust colored accents resting with its wings folded on a piece of vegetation.
A long black snake with many tiny cream colored speckles on a gravel road. Its body curves side to side and its forked tongue is sticking out.
A few treasures from #KonzaPrairie in east #Kansas #FlintHills today. My first monarch in 20+ years, my first sheepmoth, and my first speckled #kingsnake! #lepidoptera #insects #butterflies #moths #snakes #reptiles #herps #TallGrassPrairie #hiking #nature #wildlife #animals 🌿
A picture taken at the Konza Prairie and Biological Station in Manhattan, Kansas. It is taken from the bottom of a series of stone steps going up a hill. A woman is at the top celebrating her climb by raising her arms in the air.

A moody shot of fluffy clouds over a Vista of lightly wooded hills leading down to prairie
Sorry bluesky! These past few weeks have been a lot. Mostly good? Eh. But I did get to see Konza prairie for the first time!

A hillside covered in dry brown tall grass, with a blue sky veiled in wispy white clouds at the top.
A wide plain covered in short, bright green grass, with a blue sky with wispy clouds overhead.
A narrow dirt trail crossing a flat area covered in short green grass. There are a few craggy oak trees on either side of the trail.
A few pics from #KonzaPrairie #hiking yesterday. #prairie #grasslands #Kansas #TallGrassPrairie #nature #trees 🌿

A teardrop-shaped dry brown seed pod exploding with white fluff attached to small brown seeds in a field of dry grasses.
A plant with slender green leaves; the stem grows up to branch out into smaller stems that each hold several small yellow flowers along their length.
Two dried, light brown heads of grass seeds; they are arranged in a tight, column-shaped cluster, and each seed has a tiny, hair-like extension that sticks out into the air, giving the entire seed head a hairy or spiky appearance.
A clump of red-tinted grass with tiny bits of white fluff growing along the upper half at varying intervals.
#TBT last October's visit to #KonzaPrairie. These #NativePlants are buried under snow and ice now, but their seeds wait patiently for spring's warmth.🌿🌼🌱
#Milkweed (Asclepias sp.), #goldenrod (Solidago sp.), Canada wild rye (Elymus canadensis), little #bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) #poaceae
A hillside sloping from left to right, covered in tall, dry, reddish-brown grasses and small green plants, with a rock half-hidden in the foreground, and a clear blue sky overhead.

Greetings from #KonzaPrairie in the #FlintHills of eastern #Kansas! This is one of the largest remnant #tallgrass #prairies in North America. #grassland #nativeplants
A wide open field with green grass just starting to pop up out of the ground, large round hay bales in the background and a blue sky heavily streaked with white clouds. A brown wooden sign with white lettering in the foreground says "Clyde and Thelma Gewacke - Native Tallgrass Prairie, Wachiska Audubon Society."
OMW to Missouri for work & family, got grounded in Manhattan, KS with a cold yesterday. Hoping to be back on the road tomorrow, with a much-needed #hike at #KonzaPrairie. #prairie #grasslands #NativePlants #HabitarRestoration
Tuesday I got to visit the Konza #Prairie Biological Station in the #FlintHills of eastern #Kansas. Really loved getting to see an "old growth" #tallgrassprairie! #KonzaPrairie #nature #naturephotography #grasslands #ecology
