This katydid took a liking to a student who visited us at the Eno recently on a field trip! There are over 8,000 species of katydids (otherwise known as bush crickets) in the world. These insects exhibit impressive mimicry and camouflage that allows them to blend in seamlessly with leaves! Both male and female katydids are known to rub their front wings together in order to “sing” to one another as a form of communication.

Our education team is incredibly thankful for the countless wonderful Eno-centric memories (like this one!) that students, campers, and community members have provided us with this past year. Thank you for learning about the Eno with us!

Caw-ling all curious minds — let’s talk about

Caw-ling all curious minds — let’s talk about crows! Many of you are probably aware that crows are smart, but just how intelligent are these big-brained birds? (Hint: the answer is a resounding EXTREMELY). Studies have shown that crows are capable of the following:

1. Remembering the faces of other birds and even humans! They can even differentiate between humans who have been kind to them and those who have caused them stress.
2. Complex problem-solving. Crows have been observed dropping nuts at busy intersections, waiting for cars to run them over, and then retrieving their freshly cracked nut 🤯
3. Making tools. Crows are known to carve and peel the ends of sticks to form hooks and then use them to scoop insect larvae out of crevices!

So, to summarize, crows are super, super smart! (In fact, they have the reasoning skills of a seven-year-old human). But there’s actually even MORE reason to appreciate crows – from pest control to “cleaning” services (AKA scavenging), these birds provide benefits to humans and help keep our Eno ecosystems in balance. Crows rock! Visit our stories to hear some crows on Bobbitt Hole Trail caw-ing in agreement!
