The agenda for the next Bent Tree Board of Directors meeting (scheduled for Tuesday, January 28 at 9:00 a.m.) is available on the official Bent Tree website (member login required).  A board meeting is different than a work session.  BTCI members may attend/observe board meetings, but do not participate in the discussions during the meeting.  However, they may sign up to speak during the Open Forum held immediately before the meeting.  Click here for info on How Open Forums Work.

These bluebirds were puffed up to handle yesterday’s cold temperatures.  They puff up their feathers to trap air, which gets warmed up by their body heat and keeps the birds warm.

Squirrel eating a mushroom in Bent Tree

There’s been discussion on the Bent Tree NextDoor website about gathering edible mushrooms.  I wouldn’t know which ones are safe to eat, or which ones are poisonous, or which ones are “magic mushrooms”.  But, I appreciate the interesting colors, shapes, and sizes of the various fungi I come across in Bent Tree.  Some are tiny, some are really big, some are beautiful, some are funny or weird-looking… Here are some of the photos I’ve taken over the years in Bent Tree.  Click the thumbnails below for larger images.
