Critters and Beasties of Moberly Lake
A nature note from June at Moberly Lake describes observing two pairs of American redstarts with four fledglings and two fledglings near a well house, noting male black and orange coloring and female olive tones. She also mentions a chipping sparrow nest lined with red horsehair, nearby beach flora, fruit crops, and black bears raiding berries. Bats return after a year away, and tiny woolly bear caterpillars are found, with caution about hairs being allergenic and toxic to birds.
