Sept : Naturally Famous

Part Ranger Rick and part stand-up comedy our nature talks aim to entertain and inform while telling nature’s stories. This month’s talk will feature tales of seeming contradictions: swiftest justice by a slow grower, a geologic feature created in days rather than eons and a 3rd intricately woven tale.

We’ve also made time for you to share YOUR OWN TALE

· What creature, behavior or phenomena AMAZES YOU most?!?

· Share an observation, pose a question or tell the whole story

PLEASE share your answer(s) on the 13th or send to

Laura@Busy-Birding.com. We’ll put some responses in next month’s email.

ps: This is a shameless troll for 2026 topics so let us know what you LOVE in and about nature.

See you at the Medina River Oaks Courts on Sep 13th @ 11 am !

Insider Tips -

# 1 : Walk the River Oaks Court's short loop trail to the river. Relax at the wooden tables and chairs or just a few feet further walk down on the river's edge. Absorb the nature's sights and sounds as you relax in the vintage red chairs.

# 2 : The Native Plant Garden was installed by Medina Gardens & Nursery. Walk over 3 acres of trails designed for butterflies and other pollinators. No one knows the local plants better - or is friendlier - than Ishmael !
