Creative. Engineers. Pest. Nuisance. These are all words that can be used to describe Barn Swallows. While they often build their nests in undesirable and inconvenient locations, their ingenuity and persistence has to be admired. #pcapprairie #saskparks #grasslands #exploresask

Look for Little Blue Stem bunched on hillslopes. Its blue-green blades turn copper over summer. This drought tolerant grass is used as food, shelter & nesting material for birds and other wildlife. Its fibrous roots go 6ft into the ground! Image: newmoonnursery.wordpress.com

In Sask, Prairie Rattlesnakes have been known to travel up to 11km away from their winter den site! On average, a snake will migrate 3km. Anthropogenic landscapes (cropland, roads, etc) is the largest threat to migrating snakes. #SARSweetTweet #grasslandsnationalpark #naturesask

Japanese Brome is a nightmare for producers. It can reduce crop yields & increase the risk of wild fire. The dried seed heads are extremely flammable! It is more likely to start fires & spread them faster! Yikes! #InvasiveWeeds #SaskAg Image:FlickrCreativeCommons/ Matt Lavin

#InvasiveWeed Japanese Brome can be up to 35 inches or 90cm tall. Its seed head is drooping on slender twisting branches. Look for this purplish-tinged plant when it has its seed head, May-June. #AgMoreThanEver #SaskParks #yqr #yxe Image: Flickr Creative Commons/ Matt Lavin

When it has gone to seed, #InvasiveWeed Japanese Brome looks like a rattlesnake tail! These spikey awns can injure grazing livestock, such as the soft tissues of the mouth, nose & eyes of livestock. "Rip gut" is when it perforates its intestine. FlickrCreativeCommons/ Matt Lavin

In the United States, Japanese Brome was a major source of early spring forage for lambs. Unfortunately, it is now classified as a Noxious Weed because of its economic impact on agriculture and the environment. #InvasiveWeeds #SaskBeef Image: Flickr Creative Commons/Matt Lavin
