@Alien_Sunset Maybe see if there's a local club? They're pretty popular...

@danmccullough Maybe he's been taking notes from the Red-eyed Vireos😉

I've only seen one once, very early season on likely a "drop out" morning. It was on the ground along the trail farther ahead. Wish you luck, maybe get the reclining lawn chair out, binocs/camera and your favorite beverage😆

@dillyd @idyll As I recall they have really deep roots. I've tried pulling them out before but didn't get enough, if any of the root to deter them coming back. Don't worry, I literally have acres of them about the place😆

Per the Wiki page they have "Propagative roots" this link and then scroll down to the heading. So you may want to get a rather large root ball to try transplanting.

@danmccullough @donray @stephanie @dillyd When we had both Common and Butterfly Milkweeds in the yard it seemed the Monarch caterpillars preferred Butterfly. Though I've found the caterpillars on Common, Swamp and Butterfly Weed in the area...

Area butterflies seem to like all of them😆

@donray @argentcorvid Have some Osage trees just to the north of me that I walk past almost daily. As I kid I thought their round ball fruit would be great fun until I found out how STICKY they are😆

"Michigan Flora" is a three volume set of books mostly done by Oliver A. Farwell and Edward G. Voss. I have this set but the website has added so much to the info and is so much easier to search and link to😉

@donray @argentcorvid We have a lot of flora and fauna that doesn't like cold weather, including me😆

Figured out how to search through the specimens, didn't have a reason to before. Earliest documented was in Jackson, MI in 1893:
