Hi Jim & All, July 3, 2010
In years past I used to visit cattail swamps for feeds of catkin (male part just before pollen is shed) and fairly often ran into spider shelters that were constructed by folding the tapered leaves; top bent out of the page, left edge secured to underlying part on a diagonal to right and tip folded back up and secured to the right edges.
Are such spider shelters also found in Alberta ?

Speaking of egg-dumping of ducks, this past Saturday's (June 26) Quirks and Quarks had a very interesting item that took me back to my graduate student days in southern Alberta, when I was wading in cattail marshes every day for three summers in the 1960's and learning an incredible amount of natural history in so doing.
