A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Thanks ForestDragon for the ID!
Yes ForestDragon, it looked like it was hurting. It was in a parking lot where I spotted it.
Thanks for the link!
Wyoming is a great place!
Thanks for the comment.
I'll have a better chance to get closer to it the next day to grab better photos. It's located in public land owned or donated by a community college in Bloomington Normal Illinois. The land is a project that was donated to the school and the students and volunteers really took of with it. They kept most of the native plants and insects around the best they could with some visible maintenance of the land, pond and trail that runs around it.
Thanks for the info! I recall admiring how tall they could get as I walked in my childhood. I never knew that about their history though, thanks.
