Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 31/03/2025It 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.

Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 28/03/2025Happy 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. 020
Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 20/03/2025Happy 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. 071
Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Today'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.

Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 28/02/2025Fluctuations 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. 010
Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 28/02/2025That 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? 110
Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 28/02/2025With 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. 2155

Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Did you know that by 1910, there were no wild #turkeys left in Illinois due to habitat loss and overhunting? But breeding and reintroduction programs along with conservation measures helped them rebound. Today, wild turkeys live in every county of Illinois. (Photo courtesy of Monika Bobek) 020

Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 18/11/2024That’s why if a bird offloads on your car, that big splash of white poop — or brightly-colored poop if they’ve been eating berries — tends to stay on your car even after being rained on. (Photo courtesy of Debi Shapiro) 010
Forest Preserve District of Will County @fpdwc.bsky.social · 18/11/2024Did you know that birds don’t urinate? Instead, they do produce fluid feces and rid their body of nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid that’s mixed in with their poop. That acid is a white paste, which doesn’t easily dissolve in water. (Photo courtesy of Joe Viola) 110
