Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
This a Prickly Pear Cactus, and it is the only cactus native to New Jersey. (A thank-you to The Nature Conservancy hike leaders who pinted this out.)
More on this plant here. The "harmful plants" site notes that the plant is "a problem for bare feet." Who knew?
