In the woods, I spotted an adorable robin. I snapped a few photos, but I noticed it was watching a child playing nearby while his father was engrossed in his phone. He didn't realize that every time the child moved, the bird moved a little closer. Suddenly, the robin gently landed on the child's shoulder. There were gasps of amazement, and the father finally looked up, called to his son, and offered him a treat. The robin flew after them. At that moment, it all clicked: the robin wasn't just friendly, it was also cunning. It knew that where there are children, there's almost always food.

Hype for the Future 101E: Forested Areas of Brown County, Indiana
Overview The surrounding areas associated with Brown County, Indiana, are often identified by the Hoosier National Forest, the Yellowwood State Forest, and Brown County State Park. While the northern part of the county is often less protected than the areas further south, the canopy and related features of the rolling hills remain fairly similar nonetheless, with the un-glaciated terrain and features relatively similar to the foothills associated with the Appalachian Mountains.
