Fauna – Wildlife of the Flint Hills
Ah, spring in Kansas! When, after eight months of country school, we celebrated the last day with a school picnic in the woods near the creek, there to play games and wade, and pick Johnny-Jump-Ups and dandelions. It was spring when I could find violets along the stone fence near the south Cottonwood tree. It was spring when I could hear the coyotes howling in concert from the hills and when I could feast my soul in day time with the sight of those same rolling hills now green again and dotted with wildflowers and white faced calves.
