JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>Big highlight from October is the relationship of Blue Jays and Oaks.</p><p>Blue Jays routinely carry acorns a mile away from the parent oak. A single blue jay can bury up to 4,500 acorns each fall, and typically only remembers where 25% were buried. Each jay will plant ~3,360 oaks each year of its 7-17 year lifetime. </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DougTallamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DougTallamy</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/TheNatureOfOaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheNatureOfOaks</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Naturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Naturalist</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/bluejay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bluejay</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/acorns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>acorns</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>I finally started reading The Nature of Oaks in earnest. I made it through the October chapter and took a peek at November, which is pretty short. </p><p>So my plan of reading each chapter in the month we’re in is totally doable and will be fun given the many mature oaks in our neighborhood. </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DougTallamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DougTallamy</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/TheNatureOfOaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheNatureOfOaks</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/Naturalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Naturalist</span></a></p>
JL Johnson :veri_mast:<p>I tried to start reading Doug Tallamy's latest (2021) book: The Nature of Oaks last night. I like how the chapters are by month of the year and the first chapter starts in October. </p><p>There were a lot of barriers to my success in starting, but the first one was being turned off by the book being printed in China. I'd expect better from a conservationist. For a $30 book I think you can afford to onshore, reduce carbon, support American jobs, etc etc. </p><p><a href="https://vmst.io/tags/DougTallamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DougTallamy</span></a> <a href="https://vmst.io/tags/TheNatureOfOaks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheNatureOfOaks</span></a></p>
