Hummingbirds at
Presque Isle Library
The Presque Isle Library's September Artist of the month is Linda Christensen, a wildlife photographer from Marinesco, MI. The
exhibit will showcase her dazzling close up
photographs of Hummingbirds going about
life in the northwoods.
The exhibit will be available for viewing
through September 30th, Mon/Weds/Fri: 10 to 4, Tues/
Thurs: 4 to 9, and Sat: 10 to noon.
The Presque Isle Library will host a presentation on September 12th at 1:30
p.m. by Licia Johnson, a naturalist at the North Lakeland Discovery Center in
Manitowish Waters, if you'd like to learn more about these amazing birds. Licia
will do a presentation on how hummingbirds take extraordinary to another level.
From their dazzling, iridescent colors to their needlelike bills and extraordinary flight, hummingbirds are among the most fascinating birds in the world.
They have wings that beat up to 200 times every second, making them one of
nature’s most accomplished athletes. They are the only birds able to hover, fly
backwards, and even upside down. Join naturalist Licia Johnson as we discuss
their amazing biology, ecology and fascinating adaptations that allow them to
flourish as the world's smallest warm blooded animal!
For more information call the Presque Isle Library at 715-686-7613.

The leaves are starting to get a little color, and the nights are getting shorter and cooler, fall is in the air. Even though it's a bit early to
start musky fishing with live bait, it's not too early to start gearing up
for it. After the lakes complete their turn over process, which is when
the warm water sinks to the bottom and the cooler water arrives at the
top, muskies start to really strap on the feed bag. When this happens it
makes them an easier catch and this is when they are hitting their peak
weights of the year. Fall is truly the best time to catch yourself a trophy
musky.
The first thing we need
to talk about is timing.
A lot of musky fishermen will start with the
live bait tactics around
mid-September and will
have some success. I prefer to wait a little longer,
generally
somewhere
around the second week
of October fishing really
starts heating up. Weather is the key factor which
controls water temperature. So a little give and
take is always in order. I
will continue to fish until either the lakes freeze
up or the musky season
comes to an end on November 30th.
The bait of choice for
this type of fishing is
the good ol’ live sucker. Author and guide, Matt Ebert, about to release
Every musky fisherman a 32 pound Fall musky, taken using a live sucker.
has their own perfect
size suckers that they prefer to use and if you ask 5 different fishermen
what size, you will get 5 different answers. I prefer mine in the middle
size which run 14-16 inches.
Locating musky this time of year is a key component to making this
type of fishing a success. I prefer to drift down steep dropping breaklines adjacent to deep water with good green weeds up shallower.
Musky are hanging on these edges looking for an easy meal.
Now it's time to set up the equipment and I start with a quality 8ft
musky baitcasting rod which has a heavy to extra heavy action. Any
type of baitcasting musky rod will work fine as long as its equipped
with a bait clicker. For line I run superbraid in the 80-100lb test range.
Anything less can snap on a hard hook set, especially in colder weather. In order to rig the sucker you will need a quick set harness and there
are lots of different types to choose from at your local tackle shop. The
old style, single hook rig that you let the musky swallow down before
setting the hook is almost certain death for any musky intended to be
released and should not be used. As a matContinued on page 4 >>

lawed these rigs earlier this year
and they are illegal to use.
The fish hits the bait, now
what? The most important thing
to remember is not to waste any
time. Quickly clear any other lines
you may have in the water and
proceed to set the hook only if the
fish is running away from you. If
the fish is not, quickly reposition
the boat so he is. If the fish still
isn’t moving away, apply a little
pressure on the rod until he starts
moving. As the musky is swimming away, reel down and set the
hook HARD, like your trying to
break the rod in half. Hopefully
shortly you will be photographing your trophy fish. Good luck
this fall! For more information

MI; and has also

Tale of T wo Tails
In previous columns over the
past few years, I have mentioned
the great work done by the US
Forest Service Rocky Mountain
Research Station, specifically in
regards to bald eagles. Working in partnership with Clemson
University, these researchers
climb trees bearing eagle nests,
capture the young (and still
flightless) chicks, lower them
to another researcher on the
ground for measuring, etc., then
return them to the nest. The data
provides a better understanding
of the health of the ecosystem in
which the eagles live.
A typical day involves hiking
into a handful of remote sites,
with an average of about 2 chicks
per nest. The tree climber stays
in each nest – often the size of
a small room – the entire time,
scooping up each eaglet in turn
and enjoying the view. Nests are
usually littered with the bones of
various “dinner guests”. While
climbing to the tippy-top of a
swaying old tree is certainly not
risk free, like all jobs, the work
develops a certain pattern. For
the most experienced tree climbing biologists, the next nest is
about the same as the previous
hundred.
Except for one…
U gly D uckling
The tree in Lower Michigan was unremarkable in both
its location and species; most
are within a quarter mile of a
stream, river, or large lake. From
the ground, the stick nest also
seemed quite normal. A research
plane had spotted chicks there a
month or so earlier and whitewash (bird poo) around the base
of the tree indicated it was still
occupied.
But when the researcher
reached the three occupants, he
was stunned. Two were eaglets,
the third was a healthy, thriving red tail hawk chick. None of
them seemed to notice, or care,
that a, uh, brother, looked quite
different. Although quite a bit
smaller, the hawk was obviously
being fed and tended by eagle
parents. For the record, eagles
are not Good Samaritans. They
EAT anything they can grab.

So how did a red tailed hawk
babe end up in an eagle nest???
• Eagles nest a month or so before hawks, so they didn’t take
over an occupied hawk nest and
not notice (consume) one of the
existing inhabitants.
• An adult hawk didn’t accidentally drop an egg into an
eagle nest: 1) Hawks don’t parasitize other nests, and 2) Asking
eagles to baby-sit would be like
asking an alligator to watch your
kids.
• Eagles don’t usually (ever?)
take eggs from other nests. They
do take chicks however…
After considerable debate
amongst several researchers
one evening, our best hypothesis is that the red tailed hawk
chick was swiped from its nest
as FOOD. It was brought in alive
and apparently, undamaged,
perhaps with a much more unlucky twin. The adult then left,
as they usually do, to find more
morsels.
If the eagle chicks weren’t
particularly hungry, they might
leave a “meal” to serve as an afternoon snack. Plus, depending
on the age of the eaglets, they
might have only been accustomed to eating dead things.

For its part, the
hawk chick was probably a bit ruffled
and perhaps scared,
although this nest
would have looked
similar (albeit much
bigger) to its own and
the eaglets might have
seemed like large,
rather ugly relations.
So the hawk did what
baby hawks do – it sat
there and waited to be
fed.

Raising a nest full of
baby eagles is a tough,
thankless job. Flying
back and forth with
food, watching out for
predators (and tree
climbing biologists),
shielding chicks from
rain, wind, and often snow. Trying to
provide shade when
needed as well. Making sure everyone gets

food and water.
And while nearly
all successful eagle
nests have 2 parents, most of the
communication
between them is
limited to “keep an
eye on that bear”
or “hey, there’s decent fishing in that
river”. ‘Date night’
only happens once
or twice a year
(some
readers
are nodding with
great empathy by
now…).
During the nesting season, adult
eagles stuff food
into
whatever
squawks.
They
haven’t time to
count; they’re not
likely to remember
how many chicks
they had to begin
with. And they’re
not
particularly
adept at noticing
minor differences,
like color, shape,
and size, between chicks.
So the next time an adult eagle
returned to the nest, now occupied by THREE chicks, it had
no reason to exhibit any ill will
to the one that looked a bit odd.
After all, you don’t hunt food in
your own house. Three mouths
simply meant more fish or mice
to obtain. Except for the bewildered researcher sitting (temporarily) in the nest, it didn’t
appear anyone other than him
even noticed that there was a red
tailed hawk there!!!!

of the mis-matched nestlings.

Chances are quite good that all
3 continued to thrive, learned to
fly, and eventually fledged (left
the nest). The hawk would probably have been a week or so behind its ‘siblings’ in this regard
but its eagle ‘parents’ would not
have abandoned it because, well,
they clearly thought it was one of
their own.
Eagle diets are close enough to
hawk diets that there was probably no nutrition issues either,
although the hawk may have
had an unusually strong preference for fish. Learning to fly is
about the same for all raptors, as
is learning to hunt.
While the human debate continued about how the hawk chick
got there, one of the long-time
Forest Service eagle researchers
mentioned this was actually the
second time in his career that this
situation had occurred. I couldn’t
help but wonder - would humans
be this generous with aliens? After all, we fight wars with our
own species.
Hope to see YOU in the woods;
you just never know what you
might find!

NATURE NOTEs•Daddy-Longlegs by Peter Dring
Peter Dring is a
naturalist, photographer, and was
Director of the
world renowned
Little Red Schoolhouse Nature
Center for nearly
four decades.
They seem to be everywhere
climbing over bushes and woodpiles, loping along woodland
paths or resting on cabin walls.
With each trip outdoors we are
likely to encounter these creatures
that resemble a split pea supported on eight long stilts. These
gangly, fast moving things are instantly recognized as daddy longlegs.
Although they resemble spiders,
daddy long-legs, more correctly
called harvestmen, are neither insects nor spiders. Taxonomically,
they are arthropods, in the same
class as spiders but in a different
order, Phalangida. Anatomically
daddy long-legs differ from spiders in that their three body segments, head, thorax and abdomen
are joined as one compact body
segment. Spiders have two body
segments - the head and thorax
are joined as one unit called the
cephalothorax with the abdomen
as the second body segment. Insects on the other hand have three
distinct body segments, the head,
thorax and abdomen. Try letting
the daddy long-legs crawl onto
your hand. It won’t bite you and
you probably won’t even feel it
unless the second pair of legs may
be gently exploring and touching your hand. Now take a closer
look. The raised black dot on the
top of the body is a raised knob or
tubercle containing two tiny black
eyes peering out. The body has six
pairs of appendages, the chelicerae, pedipalps and four pairs of
legs. The chelierae or jaws and the
short leg like pedipalps are used
for sensing, capturing and holding
food until it is eaten.
The daddy long-legs' most impressive feature is its four pairs of
long slender legs, which may be
up to 30 times as long as its body.
Each leg has seven segments and
curves out at the tip. If the daddy
long-legs is in danger of being
caught, it can break off a portion of
its legs and then escape while the
detached legs continue to quiver
in front of a confounded predator.
Daddy long-legs can grow new
legs to replace the broken ones. Those seven-jointed legs are
unique. The Indian name for
Grandfather Gray- beard, as some
call it, meant "Feet of Hairs". If we
had legs in proportion they would
be 40 feet long! The second pair is
the longest, about 2 inches in our
common kinds and their extremely sensitive tips are used to explore
its path, search for food and warn
of danger. The fourth pair is next
in length and the first pair is shortest, unless "Daddy" has lost a leg
and is growing a new one. Recently, while examining a harvest man
she suddenly scurried away, leaving a leg between our fingers. It
continued to twitch spasmodically
for 21 minutes.
That's not to diminish the value
of those magnificent legs. They are
so important that daddy long-legs
spends considerable time fastidiously cleaning them. Each leg is
gingerly held in its jaws and nibbled to clean the leg as it is carefully pulled through the chelicerae.
Adults ordinarily hide during
the day and become active at twilight when they wander in search
of food such as dead insects, plant
juices and possibly living insects.
When they walk, their bodies are
always held a little distance above
ground. As they move, seemingly
on tiptoe, the second pair of legs,
the longest, touch the surface
sensing food. If something edible
is detected, the daddy long-legs
begins a teetering motion and tilts
the body forward, enabling it to
see over its legs and explore the
intended object with its pedipalps.
If the detected item is acceptable,
the daddy long-legs grabs it with
its pedipalps and eats it.
The more brilliantly colored
males are smaller than females,
but may have longer legs.
During the summer mating season, there is no formal courtship.
The male simply climbs on the
body of the female and transfers
his spermatozoa into her gonopore. In autumn, the female uses
a long, reversible ovipositor to
deposit eggs into soil or crevices
in wood. In Wisconsin, the adults
most likely die in autumn, thus
the species overwinters in the egg
stage. The young hatch the following spring and grow by splitting
and shedding their “skins."
Next time you are startled by a
daddy long-legs scurrying across
the woodpile, spare its life, for it is
a beneficial and graceful creature
in the complex web of life. Daddy
long-legs frequently play host to a
small bright red mite, which is visible to the naked eye, usually on
the body of this arthropod.

take time to check our gear and
make time to target practice. One
of my sons recently purchased
a bow. After he had it set up, he
was out in the back yard shooting at the target. He wants to be
familiar with his bow and ready
when he gets an opportunity to
shoot. He will be able to better hit
the target, even in the pressure of
the hunt.
This makes me think about
how much do you and I practice
with our spiritual tools? In the
Old Testament when David went
to fight Goliath, the king gave
David his armor. It was uncomfortable for the young shepherd
because he had not worked with
it or “tested them”. Paul wrote
to Timothy to, “Preach the word!
Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort,
with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when
they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own
desires, because they have itching
ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn
their ears away from the truth,
and be turned aside to fables.” (2
Tim 4:2-4) Today there are those
who need to hear sound teaching
and the truth. Someone needs to
share this.
Christ has called us to be His
ambassadors and tell others about
Him and His gift of salvation.
Many times in the Christian life,
opportunities come along for us
to share our faith or take a stand
for Christ and we miss them. We
feel uncomfortable, inadequate,
and full of doubts. “Who am I to
share this?” This is due, in part,
to the fact that we haven’t tested
and become familiar with God’s
Word of Truth and what we say
we believe. Maybe you have had
one of those times, as I have had,
when you wished you had said
something, but only thought of it
in hindsight. This often happens
because we neglect our spiritual
disciplines. Some may be thinking, “Wait a minute. Isn’t the
LAND O’
LAKES
LUTHERAN
Holy Spirit supposed to give us
the words to say?” Where we
don’t need to worry or be anxious about those times God calls
us to witness for Him, this isn’t
suggesting we forego our preparation. We need to be diligent.
Paul also wrote to Timothy in the
same letter, “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a
worker who does not need to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the
word of truth.” (2 Tim 2:15) Each
of us who have come to believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ needs
to be diligent and work at being able to rightly divide God’s
Word. We will be better prepared
to share our faith or to distinguish
the truth from a lie if we practice

Christian disciplines, such as,
Bible study and memorization,
prayer, church attendance, and
fellowship, to name a few. Like
shooting the bow, we get better as
we practice with these.
As we prepare for the coming
hunting season, take some time
to think about your faithfulness
to practice the disciplines of your
Christian faith. If you are not a
hunter, then as you prepare for
the colder days of winter ahead,
ask yourself, “Do I prepare as
well for my service to the Lord Jesus Christ?” As God’s workmanship, are we prepared to serve
Him? Let’s be ready and make an
effort to hit the target!
Know I’m praying for you.

Popcorn, The Timeless Treat by Kris & Mark Gostisha
Kris and Mark
Gostisha, of
the Forest Lake
Country Store,
share their
passion for the
gourmet and
the unique.
Let's start with a little history,
like about 3600 B.C.! Maybe even
1,000 years before that, depending on which archeologist is right!
Evidence has been found that Native Americans were using popcorn
that long ago. How does popcorn
go from a staple food source maybe
6,000 years ago to a delicacy that is
spilled on sofas and movie seats everywhere?
Start with the simple science of
popcorn. Each kernel of corn is a
sealed chamber. The hard outer
shell with a small amount of starchy,
oily, nut inside. When the kernel is
heated, the oil inside expands and
eventually is larger than the hard
outer shell can contain. POP. The
starch and meat is now exposed for
your dining delight. The ever present and troublesome “old maid”
seeds are easily explained. The hard
outer shell on the kernel has a small
breach allowing the steam to escape
and inside never gets hot enough to
pop!
When the first settlers arrived in
America, they learned the value of
popcorn as a light snack or small
meal. During the Depression popcorn became a valuable food source
for many people. It was very inexpensive, and when not drenched
in butter, popcorn offers great fiber
and has no natural sugar or sodium!
Years ago it was a family tradition to gather around the stove and
slowly shake a kettle over a burner
with oil and kernels inside. The first
pop was a pleasant surprise for all,
then the frantic pace of all the kernels popping at once. A favorite
childhood memory was the making
of popcorn, then settling in for the
annual playing of the Wizard of Oz.
Remember the moment when Dorothy opened the door in OZ and the
magic of Color TV came to life?
The next big innovation was Jiffy
Pop. Popcorn, kettle and cover all
in one package. Then microwave
popcorn revolutionized mass production of popcorn. Instead of popcorn being the food of just movie
theaters, popcorn became a snack
of offices, dorm rooms and pretty
much anywhere a microwave was
Watersmeet Lakeguards
available. Now popcorn has taken a
giant leap, backwards.
We need to go back to the stove
top. Quality gourmet popcorns are
available that offer health benefits
and easier popping and a “hullless” finished treat. You know those
hulls that get stuck between your
teeth, or even worse, behind braces? Thanks to the science of genetics, you can pop hull-less popcorn
in a kettle at home. Now the Hullless popcorn actually starts with a
hull. Remember, the hull is needed
to create the pressure for the ultimate POP. The hulls on these delicacies are very thin and brittle and
pretty much separate from the kernel when popped. One of the most
popular hull-less popcorns is Baby
Rice. You can find either a White
Baby rice or Lady Finger baby rice
popcorn.
White Baby rice is our family favorite. The kernels are very small,
and well, shaped like rice. When it
is popped, it is a delicate, tasty treat.
The Lady Finger baby rice popcorn
has the smallest kernel used for
hull-less popcorn.
You will need to go back to a kettle and oil for the best of this delicate
taste treat. A little coconut oil makes
a great batch for an evening treat. If
you want a special treat, add some
strawberries, a bottle of Prosecco,
a good movie and better friend for
a wonderful popcorn evening! Remember to toast the first person sitting in a cave 6,000 years ago, that
had some dried maize in a fire and
was bold enough to eat it after it
popped!
Bon appétit,

Health & Wellness•Ancient Whole Food Epicures
by Dr. Ida Allen Bergman, DC
I
recently
had the amazing opportunity to interview
one of my favorite people
in the health,
wellness, and
fitness industry, Don Tolman. He enlightened
my husband and I for well over
an hour on the amazing gifts we
were given on our planet as far as
natural resources we can use to
boost our immune systems, help
fight infections, increase longevity, and much more.
He spoke extensively on something he called SelfCare and SelfEducation. He shows how if we
can educate ourselves and start
to take our health into our own
hands (instead of constantly relying on others to figure out our issues), that we can truly make a big
difference for the better. I wanted
to share with you a couple of his
great Ancient Epicures for you to
add to your health arsenal!
The Cardio Cocktail:
2oz wheat grass juice
3 oz celery juice
2 oz kale or collard green juice
2 oz spinach juice
1oz lemon juice
1tbsp tamari
1 pinch of cayenne
(chili) pepper
Take all ingredients and blend
into the juice form. If you ingest
this regularly, you are drinking
chlorophyll-rich, high energy
greens which is one of the best
things you can do for your cardiovascular system. Drink it on an
empty stomach and sip it slowly.
If you don’t have every ingredient, don’t let that deter you from
using the others on the list!
Clean Sweep (for acne issues
or to ensure great looking, youthful skin):
2-3 ripe organic berries
of your choice
½ c Apple Cider Vinegar
Mash up the berries and vinegar and set aside overnight.
Strain and pour into a spray bottle. Mist your face and neck. The
acid and antioxidants will help
cleanse and tighten your pores.
If you have acne prone skin,
DRINK MORE WATER (at least
½ your weight in ounces), avoid
mineral oil based cosmetics, and
use aluminum free baking soda
as a facial cleanser and scrub.

Entrance on US 2 East
Poison Ivy Relief:
Mix 1 tbsp of turmeric spice
with roughly equal parts of lime
or lemon juice to form a thick
paste. Carefully apply to the afflicted skin. This remedy will
stain and may sting a bit, so be
advised-but as you will see it
works like a miracle! Let it sit on
your skin for 15 mins. It's best to
sit in the tub to keep the mess to
a minimum. Rinse off (some stain
will remain on your skin). By
morning you'll be amazed.
Dia-Beet-Ease:
1 slice of an organic beet
1 bag or tsp Ginseng tea
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
Boil 8-16 oz of water (depending on how strong you want it),
add the ingredients and steep for
10 minutes. The active insulin
enhancing compounds in cinnamon are found in the watersoluble portion and not the oil.
Not only have these compounds
been found to increase glucose
metabolism by up to 20-fold, but
they are also full of antioxidants.
It's really time to come back to
nature and look at the amazing
natural gifts we have been given
to not only be 'sick-free' but to enhance our lives and take us to the
next level. Just recently I went on
a quest to see how many things
I could find in my backyard that
my family and I could eat and
use in other ways. I was truly
shocked at the abundance of miracles sitting right in front of my
face all this time. For some learning and fun, grab the kids and a
smart phone (for identification)
and explore for yourself!
