Summary

Mayapple is a favorite native wildflower across the eastern U.S.; parts are highly toxic but many of its seeds are disseminated by box turtles. “This Week At Hilton Pond North” we discuss this complex relationship and talk about birds we’ve recently banded or recaptured, including Eastern Wood-Pewees and Gray Catbirds. All this and more in Podcast #40. After listening, check out the full photo essay at: https://www.hiltonpondnorth.org/twahpn-20260601.html Happy Listening!
