Wild Blueberries

Today we ate wild blueberries while hiking and birding at North Point State Park.  I do forget sometimes that everything we eat started wild.  We humans cultivated, and cross-pollinated, and hybridized (wow, that's a word) all, o.k., if not most of our current eats. How about that.  I often ponder the first folks that put the first whatever into their mouths!  Brave people.

We also ate blackberry with the squirrel and saw bird eat wild grape and wild black cherry.  There were other trees and bushes with fruit that wasn't ripe that we couldn't/didn't identify that the wildlife will be loving soon.

Wanna see birds and wildlife?  Find the food source!  That is our mantra!

See ya in the wilds.
