Maine Attraction

I moved to Missouri four years ago from a small town in Maine where I was the chairman of our Conservation Commission and treasurer of the Southern Maine Conservation Collaborative. I was (and still am) so impressed with your magazine that I mail a copy to my old team in Maine, and they love it as well. As we used to say in the Navy, ”Bravo Zulu,” or well done.

Baskets and Butterflies

May’s issue was the best issue ever. I hope you can have more articles on nature crafts, like the hickory bark process (Beauty from Bark, Page 10). The butterfly article showed really good pictures (Swallowtails of Missouri, Page 22). I really appreciated seeing the different stages of a butterfly’s life and the variety.

Correction

The photo of the bird on Page 7 of the May issue (Ask MDC) was misidentified as a gray-cheeked thrush. It is a Swainson’s thrush.
