Clark’s Nutcrackers, Nucifraga columbiana, are sometimes confused with their smaller cousins, Canada Jays, Perisoreus canadensis. While both are black, gray and white and both are members of the Corvid family, there are a few differences.

One big difference is that the Clark’s nutcracker is bigger. The Canada jay has about an 18 inch span from wingtip to wingtip. The nutcracker wingspan is longer at 24 inches across.

Their coloring is a bit different as well. Canada jays have black on their head while the Clark’s nutcracker is more gray. Also Clark’s nutcrackers have mostly black wings except for white on the trailing edge of the secondaries.

Another big difference? Pine seeds. Clark’s nutcrackers are amazing cachers of pine seeds. They love these seeds, especially the white bark pine. Seeds from these trees are full of calories. To take advantage of these seeds, and other conifer seeds, these birds have developed some great ways to cache and store food for the winter and even spring. They have a pouch under their tongue that allows them to hold 30-150 seeds. Once all gathered, the Clark’s nutcracker can fly up to 15 miles away to dig a small trench, bury the seeds and memorize the local landmarks (like trees, rocks, logs). Working all fall gathering pine seeds allows these birds to eat all winter. In fact, their memory is great even 6 months later. Of course, what the birds forget or don’t need to eat is a seed planted for the future. A single Clark’s nutcracker can cache up to 30,000 seeds in a single season.

Have you seen a Clark’s nutcracker in the park? Have you watched them flying across a meadow? Heard their “krraaaaak” as they call to each other? ~ams

A Sand County Feathursday

One of the most noteworthy books to come out of Wisconsin is A Sand County Almanac by the equally noteworthy Wisconsin naturalist and conservationist Aldo Leopold (1887-1948). Considered a landmark in the American conservation movement, A Sand County Almanac is a collection of essays mainly concerning the land around Leopold’s home in Sauk County, Wisconsin, that advocates the author’s idea of a "land ethic," or a responsible relationship between people and the land they inhabit.

Our copy is a first edition published in New York by Oxford University Press in 1949 with illustrations by the American wildlife artist and fellow conservationist Charles W. Schwartz (1914-1991). The book was published a year after Leopold’s death so he never got to witness its significant impact on the conservation and environmentalist movements. 

Schwartz made a special emphasis on depicting the avian inhabitants of Sauk County, and we show a few of those images here that include Canada Geese (Branta canadensis), Black-capped Chickadees (Poecile atricapillus), American Woodcocks (Scolopax minor), and a Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). A couple of other species shown here are from Leopold’s visits to Mexico and the American southwest, Gambel's Quail (Callipepla gambelii) and Clark’s Nutcracker (Nucifraga columbiana).

The image of the chickadee being annoyed by its newly banded leg has a particularly charming description:

65290 was one of 7 chickadees constituting the ‘class of 1937.’ When he first entered our trap, he showed no visible evidence of genius. Like his classmates, his valor for suet was greater than his discretion. Like his classmates, he bit my finger while being taken out of the trap. When banded and released he fluttered up to a limb, pecked his new aluminum anklet in mild annoyance, and hurried away to catch up with the gang. It is doubtful whether he drew any philosophical deductions from his experience,  . . . for he was caught again three times that same winter. . . . By the fifth winter 65290 was the sole survivor of his generation. Signs of genius were still lacking, but of his extraordinary capacity for living, there was now historical proof.

Our copy of A Sand County Almanac is from the collection of another heralded Milwaukee-area environmentalist and activist, Lorrie Otto.

Happy Witchcore Samantha Wednesday!

For those of you who are new here, this orginally stemmed from my obsession with Sam Winchester and Sastiel in the Supernatural fandom, and in an attempt to provide Sam a better life, I created an AU with a transgender MtF witchcore Samantha, a genderfluid cottagecore beekeeper/gardener Castiel, and non-binary toddler Jack Kline.

New audiences call for a slight change in direction, and while Samantha, Cas, Jack, and I are still available to answer questions about the family, Witchcore Samantha Wednesdays will now be focusing on making moodboards that fit the cottagecore and witchcore vibe. Suggestions and prompts are always welcome, just shoot me an ask or a DM!

This moodboard was requested by @willgrahamscat . They asked: "i was listening to barbie songs and had a idea!! Clara sam and nutcracker cas and sugarplum fairy jack". I hope you enjoy it!

I am extremely serious about needing suggestions in order to continue providing quality content, whether it be anonymous one word prompts, or elaborate collaborative pieces sent through DMs

*As with the rest of my moodboards, none of these pictures are my own, and I claim no credit for any art or design used, only for the concept created*
