Fun fact: Great blue herons will eat snakes. (Photo courtesy of Michal Jakubek)

It may only be Monday, but this is the best nature photo you'll see all week. Here we have a turkey vulture doing what turkey vultures do ... acting as nature's cleanup crew. They lack a killer instinct and almost exclusively eat things that are already dead. (Photo courtesy of Joe Viola)

Happy National Weed Appreciation Day! And no, we're not talking about Cheech and Chong's preferred weed. Did you know that not all weeds are bad? For example, the dandelion can help your lawn, because their wide root systems help loosen hard soil, which helps aerate the ground and improve drainage.

Happy first day of spring in Northern Illinois! We've entered that time of year where you can be driving to work with snow falling and your heat blasting, and on the way home you'll be driving home with the A/C blasting.

Today's warm weather means one thing: SNAKES WILL BE OUT AND ABOUT. You may see them crossing trails, slithering through grass, or hanging out in the trees and bushes at eye level. A warm, sunny March day is perfect for them to find a sunny spot and bask in it. (Photo by Anthony Schalk)

For us, 365 days a year we are saviors, not squishers.

We're bringing the bad news today.

You're not the only one who loves a morning stroll! So does this coyote that we captured on one of our trail cams.

Let nature inspire you! This bold male northern cardinal and the winter landscape create a perfect color palette, with warm reds, deep grays and soft neutrals. Use this inspiration from nature to spark creativity, whether you are designing, painting, or decorating your own space. #colorpalette

A sign that spring is right around the corner? When monarch butterflies land in the U.S.

With warmer weather this week, you've likely been seeing woolly bear caterpillars out soaking up the sun. This winter with frigid temps, they've been surviving in a nearly frozen solid state. The caterpillars slowly freeze, but they produce glycerol that prevents their inner cells from freezing.

When it comes to regurgitating pellets, owls usually come to mind. But they're not the only bird to do it.

Do you know what bird is calling?

Hey deer, you're supposed to pose for the #trailcam, not lick it.

There is an ice storm coming. But before you go full Salt Bae on your driveway and sidewalks, remember that using more salt won't yield better results. If you see salt left on the ground after the snow and ice clears, you are using too much. #weather #icestorm #saltbae #salty

Happy National Squirrel Appreciation Day! We all could use more cuteness in our social media timelines, so this should do the trick.

The Chicago Bears have completed an interview with our mascot and head coach candidate Willy Woodchuck.

Winter is a perfect time to be planting native seeds and that means we're busy getting all that seed ready and mixed. #nativeplants #willcounty

Why are we mixing seed in the winter? Because now is the perfect time to do just that.

Hey #bird nerds, do you know?

Hello, winter weather. (Photo by Suzy Lyttle)

Here's something you don't see every day.

Just a #beaver doing some beaver things. #trailcamera #wildlife

How big is a beaver tail, you ask? This big. (Photo courtesy of John Absher)

Yes, we have bobcats in Will County. Sometimes they even mug for the #trailcam.

Happy #trailcam Tuesday! Let's check in with one of our resident red squirrels. #wildlife #squirrels

This PHOTO is the BOMB. (Courtesy of Joe Viola)

Did you know that by 1910, there were no wild #turkeys left in Illinois due to habitat loss and overhunting? But breeding and reintroduction programs along with conservation measures helped them rebound. Today, wild turkeys live in every county of Illinois. (Photo courtesy of Monika Bobek)

#Thanksgiving is right around the corner, so let's take a closer look at wild turkeys and that big red thing hanging off their neck. #nature #wildlife #themoreyouknow

Hello, Bluesky. We all could use more cute nature shots, correct? (Photo courtesy of Joe Viola) #raccoons #raccoonlife #NaturePhotography #Wildlife

Well, hello there. #groundhog #nature #trailcam

Did you know that birds don’t urinate? Instead, they do produce fluid feces and rid their body of nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid that’s mixed in with their poop. That acid is a white paste, which doesn’t easily dissolve in water. (Photo courtesy of Joe Viola)
