Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques Please do not avoid Devils Club at all costs, just be very careful around it. It won't pull you into it's thorns and it's not carnivorus. It is a very large leaved, red-flowered plant with an unique and highly valued place in native american and canada's first peoples' pharmacoepia. A water ouzel, also called a dipper, and called a "teter ass" by my grandfather, is a small inconspicuous gray bird that makes nests of moss and raises it's young behind waterfalls in small mountain streams. It does not migrate and you can see it happily standing on a rock in the middle of winter with roaring water all around and snow on the banks, when all of a sudden it pops off the rock and into the frigid stream, swimming underwater. It eats bugs and such under rocks in the stream. A truely amazing little creature.
