State endangered Least Bitterns were recently discovered at Mud Lake/Elbel Park and we suspect they might be nesting. Glad they found some suitable habitat in one of our high quality natural areas.

Mud Lake/Elbel Park was good practice
@SecretaryPete. Let's do it again. @FlyRFD can expand AND preserve one of Illinois' last natural wonders. This comprehensive paper by John White tells just how rare & special Bell Bowl Prairie is.

Most are #endangered. Like this butterfly that exists in fewer than 20 sites on the planet. Indiana's tiniest #salamander. ... A #rattlesnake that gives medicine? And a fairy shrimp. #Valentine's wishes for #wetlands! @SBTribune https://t.co/5IiJtyri5b
