This brightly colored, chunky bird is not found in America but frequents gardens and backyards in the UK and throughout much of Europe.
This is one of the few birds that many residents of the USA know by name… but it is THAT NAME that makes many people in the UK a bit confused. No matter where you live, each version has the classic “red breast”.
This humble plant is easily overlooked, both in its quiet early blooming and later leaf unfurling
One of the few species to walk face-first down tree trunks, this little bird also has a distinct black stripe through its eye.
Only found from Central Texas down into Mexico, this titmouse with a striking black crest acts quite a bit like its more familiar, look-alike cousin
This WHITE little plant completely lacks chlorophyll and is often mistaken for a fungus or mushroom. In truth, it is a parasite of fungi that feed on tree roots, and is often found in the shade beneath beech or maple trees.
These nearly ubiquitous, often evergreen vines are almost entirely edible outside of their berries. Try their tender tendrils. 😉
This species includes varieties called bok choy, napa cabbage, turnip, rapini, and totsoi
