Notes from a Naturalist: Summer's drone comes from the cicada

By Matt Maloney, Special to The Conway Daily Sun The season of heat and humidity is upon us.

And unlike the dawn chorus of birds or evening chirping of crickets, one sound punctuates the hottest parts of these hottest days. As the coolness of morning lifts with the powerful sun, come around noon, the drone of summer commences.

Notes from a Naturalist: Twinflower blooms on year's longest day

By Matt Maloney, Special to The Conway Daily Sun Around the time of the summer solstice there is a tiny pink flower that blooms punctually with the coming of the longest day, twinflower (Linnaea borealis). However, it is easily missed due to its tiny size, for the flowers are only about a half inch long. Twinflower is remarkable for both its beauty and scent, and the cool, mossy forest nooks it inhabits. kAmxE’D 2 ;@J E@ C6=:D9 E96 362FEJ @7 2 EH:?7=@H6C H9:=6 :?

Notes from a Naturalist: Trilling of the gray tree frog heralds summer's here

By Matt Maloney, Special to The Conway Daily Sun On a warm and balmy June evening, perhaps before or after an evening shower, I hear the lullaby in the air. The melodic trills of gray tree frogs (Hyla versicolor) come down forth from trees and shrubs near the edge of a wetland. There are many who hear this pleasing sound and think it is the sound of birds or toads or some other unknown nocturnal creature. kAm$@F?5:?8 2 3:E =:<6 E96 EC:== @7 2 H@@5A64<6C 3FE >@C6 >6=@5:4[ =@H6C 2?5 D=@H6C :?
