Get Out!

Fun things to do and great places to discover nature.

• Baltimore Orioles begin building nests. It takes about a week to weave their dangly, sock-like homes.
• American toad tadpoles turn into toadlets and leave the water.
• Go berry picking. Gooseberries, raspberries, and mulberries ripen in June.
• Xplor summer fun at an MDC nature center. Visit short.mdc.mo.gov/Zpg to find the center nearest you.
• Keep an eye out for black bears if you live in the Ozark region. They’re browsing for berries, too.
