The Blue Jays That Grew a Forest
Take a lyrical journey on the wings of blue jays as they bury thousands of acorns for next season's food and help Mother Nature extend the oak forests. Most of us know about the mighty oak tree, and how important oaks are as a keystone species. But we may be less aware of the role that blue jays play in assisting the expansion of oak tree forests. Covering one full year from season to season, we learn about the habits of the blue jays. All summer long they feed on bugs, berries, and seeds. But as autumn approaches, they perch in the canopy waiting for the acorns to ripen. With cold weather coming soon, this blue crew hauls away acorns, each bird taking as many as five per load. They fly over a farm or two and hide the acorns in a sunny open area where they can find them later when other food is scarce. But not all acorns will be eaten. Little do the jays know that the treasures they bury may one day become the beginnings of a new oak forest. This debut picture book from poet Lynn Street lyrically celebrates the connection between blue jays and oak trees. It will appeal to readers fascinated by the behavior of birds and by the reciprocal relationships found in nature. While jays depend on acorns for food, the oak depends on jays to scatter its fruit far and wide. Blue jays have specially developed pouches in their throats that allow them to carry several acorns at a time, and they can travel as far as 1,500 miles in a season burying their acorns. A keystone species in oak forest ecosystems, these familiar birds are thought to have contributed to reestablishing oak forests after the last ice age. The detailed back matter provides further information about oaks and jays. Geisel Honoree artist Anne Hunter, who lives in the jay-filled woods of Vermont, illustrated this book with great affection for these beautiful, clever, and sometimes noisy birds. After reading this book, you will see blue jays in an entirely new light. Eureka! Nonfiction Children's Book Silver Award

Wings to fly
The photos in this book came from many visits outdoors, to creeks and ponds and mountain trails and botanical gardens all across Southern California. I was able to capture these insects with my camera as they took a break from their flight because I walk trails quietly, patiently looking at each flower, on each stalk or stem, onto each leaf. Insects are easily frightened, and off they fly or run as your shadow crosses their eyes or as your breath reaches their sensitive hairs. Approach flowers slowly, carefully, with your camera at the ready. Step softly, for insects have survived for millions of years because they can sense the vibrations that approaching feet make. Beautiful life surrounds you, very small and normally unseen. Get outdoors and find it. Capture it with your camera so that when you return home you can enjoy the wonders that Earth has in store for you.
