To confirm this you can crush a root, or perhaps even the leaves (bottoms), and smell for ginger.
I've never had the fortune of finding this plant in the wild. In Georgia, it is notorious for people "hunting" it and completely wiping it out in areas (which is ironic if you read the wiki article).
I actually need help identifying a bird call, but I haven't found a way to extract the audio out of my .avi file from my camera. The .avi file is about 11MB so if you have a highspeed connection, then perhaps you could return the favor?  |
WooHoo!! Wild Ginger is a good hit!
I have a bunch more pics for you to review as I get time to shrink and post them. I just got back from the meadows and got a bunch of prairie plants ID'd with help from the visitor center, but some were too hard for them to see in the digital camera screen.
Saw My First Crex Meadows Timber Wolf Today! I've seen tracks and poo's alot but today I saw one laying out in a field enjoying the sunshine. Then he got up and walked back into the woods. Huge Wolf! I took a pic but I have to wait to see just how much of him you can see.
For the avi file. You could try just using windows recorder, play the avi and see if the recorder only pics up the sound part. If not, you could run the avi and use a mic to record it via another program (doesnt winamp have record features?). Maybe running it and windows recorder via a mic would separate it out.
I can try to ID your bird, but sounds are not a strong point. I can ID some, I can narrow some down to a type and there is the chance that a bird in your area is completely foreign to me. But I am sure willing to give it a shot.
