Morels in Spring

We went hunting over the weekend for Morel mushrooms and came back with a nice bounty, sore muscles and a few ticks. It was very fun to have the family out with a purpose, without spending alot of money. The thrill of filling our bags with natures gift. Morels can be found in the woods, but I don't suggest searching near walnut trees. My best luck came in a woody area filled with young saplings.

We tried along the edge of a pasture but got rained out. I did find bird feathers I had never seen from a Northern Flicker. It was easily identifiable by it's orange shaft. Later we found feathers with a yellow shaft which was also a Northern Flicker, which is part of the woodpecker family.
