Black Bear spotted on Chik-Wauk's trails. The day after this picture staff found some bear scatt by the Watercraft Exhibit Building. Do you think it is from this bear? #chikwauk #gunflinttrail #nature #museum #naturecenter #visitcookcounty #exploremn #trailcamtuesday
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds (Archilochus colubris) build nests each year in the Northwoods. The nest sits in the fork or crook of branches at only about 2 inches across and 1 inch deep. A hummingbird will collect thistle and dandelion down and stick it together with spider silk.
Large- Leaved Asters (Eurybia macrophylla) are now in bloom, a sure sign that fall is around the corner. This plant's large leaves carpet the Boreal forest for all of the summer and months after they first start to appear pop up these beautiful purple flowers.

Humans are not the only ones that love to eat wild rice. Waterfowl rely heavily on wild rice during the fall migration. These rice beds also create great nursery habitats for food for birds like Loons and Great Blue Herons. #chikwauk #gunflinttrail #nature #museum #naturecenter
It is now Blueberry season. Blueberries have been an important wild crop in the area for thousands of years. Fire is an important management tool to help increase blueberry production. Blueberries also like more acidic soil pH of 4.5 and 4.8. Around Chik-Wauk blueberries thrive.
So far this summer, the Chik-Wauk Nature Center has been able to release 7 Monarch Butterflies. And many more have been born on the Milkweed below the Museum. Stop by the Nature Center to see these beautiful creatures at various stages of life. #chikwauk #gunflinttrail #monarch
