For the Birds
A variety of wildlife can be
seen at River Valley. This
woodpecker was taking
advantage of the feeders that
are hung at the bird blind
each winter.
Reconstructions The Big Bluestem (pictured above) is just one of a variety of native plants that can be found in the prairie and wetland habitats.

Watch out for these creepers!!! Above
is a picture of poison ivy creeping up
a tree. "Leaves of 3 let them be!"
Poison ivy has three special leaves.
The middle leaf is symmetrical,
meaning both sides of the leaf (the
main vain being the divider) look the
same. The other two leaves are
asymmetrical, meaning one side of
the leaf looks different than the other.
