What You Can See on May 30

From Audubon’s Earth Almanac by Ted Williams and compiled in “Wild Moments,” edited by Connie Isbell, Illustrations by John Burgoyne, Storey Publishing, 174 pages. Underwater Artist If the United States had a national fish, it would be the ubiquitous bluegill sunfish, alias “kivver” or “sunny”—a native or transplant in ponds, lakes, and dawdling streams almost everywhere in our nation. In May—when the belly of the male turns sunrise orange—he eases into the shallows to scoop out a plate-size depression with his tail in sand, mud, gravel, or clay.

What You Can See On May 27

From Audubon’s Earth Almanac by Ted Williams and compiled in “Wild Moments,” edited by Connie Isbell, Illustrations by John Burgoyne, Storey Publishing, 174 pages. Call From the Distant Past Impoverished is the soul unstirred by the voice of the male bullfrog when first it breaks the silence of the May twilight. The deep, resonant jug-o’-rum -- felt as much as heard -- is a call from earth’s distant past, ages before the dinosaurs, when the first amphibians staggered out of Devonian seas to dominate the land for 70 million years.
