Warming water temperatures in April signal spawning time for many of our fish species. The state endangered Lake Sturgeon is one of the earlier species to spawn in Indiana, migrating, often many miles, to a common spawning site. They deposit their adhesive eggs in areas with large rocks and a fast current.
The barn owls started nesting early this year, and the first egg was laid in early February. This year’s activity has been unusual: the female took more than a week off in between laying, resulting in a significant size difference between the hatched chicks. Usually, barn owls go only two to three days between laying eggs.
All wildlife needs food, water, and shelter to thrive. If you are looking for ways to create habitat for wildlife, look no farther than your backyard.
